COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1905. 



INTRODUCTION. 



AMERICAN COMMERCE. 



The purpose of this study of American commerce is to present in con- 
cise form a statement of the commercial conditions in the various coun- 
tries of all America, and especially in the American republics whose rep- 
resentatives are to meet in July of the present year for conference and 
discussion of subjects of mutual interest. In this study it has been 
deemed proper to include brief statements of area, population, products, 
and producing possibilities; transportation, present and prospective; 
and finances, currency, and other subjects closely allied to commerce, 
with the thought that the information would not only be required by 
those desiring to study at the present moment economic conditions in 
these countries, but also be useful to general students, since the purpose 
has been to bring down to the latest available date facts of this character 
regarding all countries of the Western Hemisphere. The statement with 
reference to the United States has been made in great outlines only, 
since the details are presented in other publications of this Bureau, 
notably the Statistical Abstract of the United States and Commerce and 
Navigation of the United States, issued annually and to be obtained on 
application bj' any desiring further details of the commerce of the United 
States than those presented in this work. 

The total commerce of all America is $5,050,027,000, of which 
$2,806,119,000 is that of the United States and the remaining 
$2,243,908,000 is distributed among the other countries of North, 
South, and Central America, and the West India islands. 

Considering the imports and exports separately, the total imports of 
all America are $2,184,377,000, of which $1,179,135,000 is the value of 
imports into the United States, the remaining $1,005,242,000 being dis- 
tributed among the other American countries. The total exports of all 
America are $2,865,650,000, of which $1,626,984,000 is from the United 
States, the remaining $1,238,666,000 being exported from the various 
other American countries. 

The total imports of all America other than the United States were, 
in the latest available year, $1,005,242,000, of which $355,391,000, or 
35.4 percent, was drawn from the United States; the total exports of all 
America other than the United States were $1,238,666,000, of which 
$431,145,000, or 34.8 per cent, was sent to the United States. 

A comparison of conditions of our trade with North and South 
America, respectively, indicates that a much larger share of the trade 
of the North American countries is carried on with the United States 
than with the South American countries. The total imports of all 
North America other than the United States (including in this term 
Central America and the West India islands) were in the latest avail- 
able year $.531,129,000, of which $290,563,000, or 54.7 per cent, was 
from the United States ; and the total imports of South America were 
$474,113,000, of which $64,828,000, or 13.5 per cent, was from the 
United States. The total exports of all North America other than 
the United States were in the latest available year $536,875,000, 
of which $289,363,000, or 53.9 per cent, was to the United States; 
the total exports of all South America were $701,791,000, of which 
$141,782,000, or 20.2 per cent, was to the United States. 

TRADE OF THE UNrPED STATES WITH OTHER COUNTRIES OF AMERICA. 

The trade of the United States with other American countries has 
been an object of special interest and solicitude to our statesmen and 
economists. In spite of the close political and geographical proximity 



to the countries lying south of the United States within the .same hemi- 
sphere our trade, especially with tiio countries lying south of Mexico, 
has constituted a comparatively small fraction of their entire foreign 
trade. On the northern continent we have been more successful, espe- 
cially with the English-speaking nations. In 1904 to British North 
America the United States furnished 59 per cent of her total imports for 
consumption, and to Mexico nearly 56 per cent. These are the only 
countries which take more than half of their imports from the United 
States. As we proceed farther south the share of the commerce of the 
United States gradually diminishes. Tims to the Central American 
States we supplied 43 per cent of their total imports; to Colombia, a little 
farther removed, but as equally accessible by water, we sent but 34 per 
cent of her imports; to Venezuela, similarly situated, we sent 36 per cent 
in 1904, and to the British West Indies 35 per cent. We furnished 29 
per cent of her total imports to British Guiana, 22 per cent to Dutch 
Guiana, and less than 6 per cent to French Guiana. The three South 
American countries last mentioned border on the Caribbean Sea, and 
while the United States controls a respectable, though a minority por- 
tion of their foreign trade, their relative positions in the South American 
commerce is insignificant. Of the total imports of all South America 
92 per cent is taken by the countries bordering on the Atlantic and Ri- 
cific oceans and only 8 per cent by those bordering on the Caribbean Sea. 

Taking up these more important South American countries, we find 
the percentage of our trade suddenly dropping as follows: To Brazil we 
furnished in 1904 a httle over 11 per cent of her total imports, valued at 
over $117,000,000 in 1904; to Uruguay and Paraguay 8 per cent of their 
imports, worth $29,500,000; to Argentina 13 per cent of a total valued at 
$181 ,000,000 in the same year. Nor is our position better on the western 
coast, which is so much farther removed from Europe, whence our chief 
competition comes. Thus we furnished on the average about 12 per 
cent of the total imports into Chile ($52,000,000), Boli^^a ($6,400,000), 
Peru ($21,000,000), and Ecuador ($5,400,000). The diminishing im- 
portance of the South American trade in our total foreign commerce may 
be seen from the fact that in the last three decades of the nineteenth cen- 
tury the ratio between the two has been constantly declining. Thus, in 
1870, our exports to South America were over 5 per cent of our total ex- 
ports of merchandise; in 1880 less than 3 per cent; in 1890 less than 5 
per cent, and in 1900 less than 3 per cent. Since then some improve- 
ment has been noticeable, the proportion in 1905 being n^arjy 4 per cent. 

The insignificant part played by our Couth American trade in our for- 
eign commerce may be partly explained by the fact that South America 
has not ofl'ered as convenient a market for our products as the other 
parts of the world, particularly Europe. With a population which 
amounts at present to only 35 millions and with an immense production 
of its own in agricultural products which have hitherto constituted the 
principal items in our export trade it is not surprising that the southern 
continent has not offered as profitable an outlet for the surplus products 
of our farms and mines as the countries lying to the east of us in the 
Northern hemisphere. 

A study of the map of the world, and especially that which shows the 
relation of South America to the United States and Europe, seems to 
offer additional explanation of our comparative failure in the southern 
continent. The commerce of the world reaching Brazil (south of the 
Amazon), Uruguay, Paraguay, and Ai-gentina, on the Atlantic coast; and 
Chile, Peru, Ecuador, and the interior State of Bolivia, on the west, 
must reach them by water, and their sales to other parts of the world 
must also go by water. In this respect, however, the markets of Europe

iin- pnulically iis near to uU of Stnitli AmiTica fronting on tlu> Atlantic ' 
and racilic lus an- tlu>.s«' of tin- I'nitoil States. Tliis may s*hmu to tlio 
ciisiial ol»s»Tv«>r a startling stati-mont, but an examination of the map 
Hriil of the distances actually tniveleil l>y the gn-at steamships following 
the usual <ourst> of conuneree Ix'tween the countries in question will 
justify it. The easternmost [xiint of South America extends 2.(V10 miles 
farther eiust than New York, and the sailing disiance from that point to 
New York is actually greater tiian that to the cities of siuitlicrn Europe. 
and Init slightly less than to the principal conuncrcial cities of England 
and Germany, our greatest commercial rivals. This fact of itself would 
placo the I'nited States upt>n practically an equal footing with Europe 
in the matter of proximity alone: but when it is considered that nearly all 
of the steamship lines entering the jH>rts of South America are controlled 
by European capital and European inten>sts, it is not surprising that a 
largi> share of the commeive of those countries should be diverted to 
Europe. Naturolly a considerable share of their exports goes direct to 
Eurojv, and to that extent it would be quite reasonable to expect that 
their pun-hascs would be fronj that part of the world. 

The fact that the exports from the United States to Europe greatly 
exceed the imports from Europe makes it practicable for the vessels 
which bring the nibber. coffee, hides, and wool of South America to the 
United States to n>adily load at our ports with grain or provisions for 
Europe, and there load again with goods for the South American mar- 
kets, thus making the tour of the triangle, of which the line from New 
Y'ork to Liver(x>ol forms the base and the ports of Brazil and Argentina 
the ajx'x. That this should occur under ordinary conditions would not 
be surprising, and that it should occur with lines of steamships controlled 
almost exclusively in theinterestsof European capital and European trade 
is to be expected. Added to this is the luck of bankitig and business 
facilities for direct intercommunication with the United States, neglect 
of American men-hants to closi>ly study the trade metiuids and require- 
ments of the countries in question, tiie absence of direct solicitation of 
trade in the language of the country where business is sought, all of 
which are valuable aids in incn>»ising the conunercial relationship, and 
especially in increasing our sales to the countries in question. That 
closer, more frequent, and direct steamship communication is an im- 
portant factor in obtaining the commerce of countries which can be 
reached only by steamship lines is evidenced by the more rapid gmwth 
of our exports to the countries fronting upon the Caribbean Sea, with 
which fairly satisfactory steamship connections now exist, and suggests 
the advantages which may be expected to accrue to our trade with at 
least the western coast of South America when an Isthmian Canal shall 
afford Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile as direct communication with 
ports of the United States as those fronting upon the Caribbean now 
possess. With a steamship route to western South America bv way of ' 
the Isthmus, the completion of the trans-Andean road connectino' 
western South America at Valparaiso with eastern S^iuth America at 
Buenos Ayirs and Montevideo, and incn'as»>d steamship facilities be- 
tween our ports and those of l>oth coasts of South America, the manu- | 
facturiTs and producers of the United States may n asonably expect to 
increase their sales in thost- markets, to which their annual exports are 
now but one-third the amount of their annual imports from them. 

SUARE OF PRI.VCIP.VL COLNTRIES IX TIIE MARKETS SOITH OF THE 
INITED STATES. 

The value of menhandis*' imported into the countries lying soutli of 
the United States is in nunul terms 750 million dollars. Of this aliout 
200 millions is supplied by the United States, UiO millions by the United 
Kingdom, 75 millions by Germany, 50 millions by France. 33 millions 
by Italy, and 27 millions by Spain, the remainder being largely com- | 
merce between countries composing the group. Thus, about 550 mil- ! 
lions of the 7.50 milion dollars' worth of merchandise imported bv all 
America south of the United States is drawn from the United States, the ' 
United Kingdom, Gennany, France, Italy, and Spain, and a larger share \ 
from the United .States than from any other country. Of the 7.50 milion I 
dollars' worth of men-handi.se im|M)rted into the countries south of the ' 
I'nited States alntut .500 million dollars' worth, or appn>ximutelv twt)- 
thirds of the total, consists of manufactun>s, which include cotton manu- 



factures valued at over 100 million dollars: iron and steel manufactures, 
including machinery, nearly 100 millions; wood and manufactures 
thereof, 25 millions: maiuifactures of wool, a little more than "20 millions; 
leather and manufactures thereof, 15 millions; and agricultural imple- 
ments, cAer 7 millions. Of cotton goods, the largest single group, the 
I'nited Kingdom supplied in 1904, 56 million dollars' worth, the United 
States IG millions. Germany 12 millions, Italy nearly 9 millions, France 
5J millions, and Spain 4 millions. Thus, the United States, although the 
largest cotton producer o( the world, supplied but about one-sixth of the 
cotton goods imported into the countries in question, and the United 
Kingdom considerably* more than one-half. The share supplied by the 
United States is, however, something of an improvement upon the situa- 
tion ten years earlier, when we supplied but about one-ninth of the 75 
million dollars' worth of goods then imported into the countries in ques- 
tion, while the United Kingdom at that time supplied nearly one-third 
of the total. 

A comparison of the figures of cotton goods exported from the various 
cotton manufacturing countries to the countries south of the United 
States in 1904 with those of 1S94 shows that the exports of cotton goods 
from the United States to these countries grew from St million dollars 
to a little over 16 millions, those of the United Kingdom from -IGJ 
millions to 56 millions, those of Germany from about 7 millions to 
about 12J millions, those of Italy from a little less than 2 millions to 
nearly 9 millions, those of France from a little less than 5 millions to a 
little less than 6 millions, while those of Spain fell from 6J millions to 
4 millions. 

In iron and steel manufactures the United States is doing better in the 
countries under consideration than in cotton manufactures. Of the 
practically 100 million dollars' worth of iron and steel manufactures 
exported to those countries in 1904, 36 millions, or more than one-third, 
was from the United States, 32 millions from the United Kingdom, 
about 18 millions from Germany, and 2^ millions from France. 

Of the wood manufactures, valued at 25 million dollars, exported to 
the countries in question the United States supplied about 16 millions 
and Italy 6h millions. Of the wool manufactures, amounting to about 
21 luillions, lU millions were from the United Kingdom, 5} millions from 
Germany, 3 millions from France, and but half a million from the United 
States. Of the 7i million dollars' worth of agricultural implements 6J 
millions were from the United States. Coal impyorts into the countries 
in question amounted to about '20 million dollars in value, and of this 
13 millions was from the United Kingdom and 5^ millions from the 
United States. 

A series of tables on another page shows the exports by principal 
articles from the United States, United Kingdom .Germany, France. Italy, 
and Spain to the countries south of the United States in 1894 and in 
1904: also, a similar statement with reference to imports into the United 
Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain from the countries south 
of the United States. 

ORDER IX WHICH COfXTRIES ARE ARRANGED IX THIS STVDY. 

American commerce has been considered as a whole in this discussion, 
and in analyzing that commerce it has been deemed not improj)er, even 
though somewhat unusual, to arrange the countries in alphaln'tical order 
without reference to the section of the hemisphere in which they are 
located. This will give to those desiring to study conditions in the 
various countries opportunity to readily determine the relative p)osition 
of any country in the great group forming all America. In this arrange- 
ment of countries the British. French, and other colonies in the West 
Indies have been grouped under the general head of "West Indian colo- 
nies," those in Guiana under the head of "Guiana colonies," and the 
Central American States and British Honduras under the general head 
of "Centn\l America." 

Following the text discussion are tables showing the commerce of each 
country. These tables au' also arranged alphabetically with reference 
to the countries whose conunercial statistics they present. 

The table which follows shows the total imports and total ex{)orts of 
America by countries and the share of the United States in the import 
and export trade, res(Vftively. of each of the countries named.

ARGENTINA. 

[Area, 1,1.36,000 square miles; population in 1903 estimated at 5,005,853.] 

The total commerce of Argentina in 1905 wa.s $.509,.51 8,000, of which 
$197,974,000 was imports and $311, .544,000 exports. Of the imports 
14.1 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 4.8 
per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United 
States with reference to its trade with Argentina show that the imports 
from that country have grown from $.5,401,697 in 1890 to $8,114,.304 in 
1900 and $15,354,901 in 1905; and the exports thereto from $8,887,477 
in 1890 to $11, .558,237 in 1900 and $23,.564,0.56 in 1905, these being fiscal 
year figures in all cases. 

agriculture. 

Agriculture and stock raising is the chief industry of the country, and 
Argentina's wheat figures as an important factor in the world's grain 
markets. The land under cultivation was, in 1895, 4,892,005 hectares 
(nearly 12 million acres); according to an estimate of the Argentine 
department of agriculture this had increased to about 10 million hec- 
tares, or double, in 1904; yet that area constituted less than one-tenth 
of the total arable land fit for cultivation, this being estimated at 
104,300,000 hectares (about 250,000,000 acres). In addition, there are 
over 100,000,000 hectares which can so far be utilized only for stock 
breeding, and more than 90,000,000 hectares under forests and on moun- 
tains containing immense wealth in lumber and minerals. According to 
the returns of the Argentine department of agriculture, the area under 
cultivation in the agricultural year 1902-3 was 9,114,616 hectares 
(22,523,116 acres). The area under wheat more than trebled from the 
year 1891 to 1903, under corn more than doubled, and under alfalfa 
nearly trebled, etc. The production of cereals and linseed occupies 
about three-fourths of the total area under cultivation and is concen- 
trated in the central portion of the country comprised within the prov- 
inces of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, Cordova, Eritre Kios, and in the terri- 
tory of Pampa, which are especially favored by climatic conditions and 
proximity to the Atlantic ports. The cultivation of wheat, corn, and 
linseed is constantly increasing, the wheat area alone having reached 
5,145,399 hectares (12,714,283 acres) in 1904-5, having exceeded the 
total area under cultivation of all crops in Argentina in 1895, which was 
4,892,005 hectares (12,088,182 acres). The linseed area has increased 
to 1,268,556 hectares (about 3,170,000 acres) and the corn area to 
2,106,819 hectares (about 5,265,000 acres) in 1903-4. 

The cultivation of cotton, though of very recent origin, gives great 
promise, and the northern territories and provinces of Argentina, espe- 
cially those of El Chaco and Misiones, favored by their subtropical situa- 
tion, bid fair to become important sources of the world's cotton supply. 
In addition to cotton there are also found indigenous textile plants 
known under the names of chaguar, caraguata, and palnia caranday, 
which furnish valuable fiber and cover enormous areas. 

The production of sugar cane is also on the increase and is likewise 
confined to the northern States. It was originally cultivated in the 
province of Tucuman, and gradually extended to the provinces of San- 
tiago, Salta, and Jujuy, and is at present being introduced also in Chaco, 
Formosa, and Misiones. It is already beginning to furnish a surplus 
for export, which amounted to nearly 50,000 tons in 1901, when the 
total production exceeded 165,000 tons. The average yield per hectare 
varies between 25,000 and 35,000 kilos (kilo=2.2 pounds), occasionally 
rising to 46,000 kilos. 

The following figures show the growth in the exports of the principal 
agricultural products of Argentina in ten years:

Sheep raising is one of the most important branches of the animal 
industrj-. Tlie sheep are grown principally for their wool and consti- 
tute a verv' important factor in the wool supply of the world. It is esti- 
mated that Argentina provides one-fourth of the total wool production 
of the world. In 1870 the wool product of Argentina amounted to 130 
million pounds, in 1891 to 310 million pounds, and in 1900 had grown 
to about 500 million pounds. Three-fourths of the wool produced is 
of white-faced long wool sheep, one-fifth of merino, and about 5 per 
cent of black face sheep. Sheep are also raised for slaughter, furnish- 
ing not only all the mutton used in the countrj', but also increasing ship- 
ments to foreign countries. In 1903, 3,427,783 carcasses of sheep were 
shipped to the United Kingdom, along with 1,019,883 quarters of beef. 

MANUFACTURES. * 

The manufacturing industries of Argentina, which gave employment 
to about 1()8,000 people in 1895, the last census j'car, and represented 
an investment of nearlj' 285 million dollars, are chiefly carried on for the 
supply of domestic wants, only the meat-packing industry furnishing a 
considerable contribution to the export trade. In 1903 five large freez- 
ing establishments were engaged in shipping meats to the United King- 
dom ; more meat packing plants have been added since then. Among the 
other important industries are flour mills, distilleries, sugar refineries, 
and wine-making establishments, all of which have been producing a 
surplus for the export trade. The total investment in manufacturing 
and the number of persons emploj-ed have greatly increased since 1895, 
the date of the census above quoted. 

The direction taken by Argentine industry has been in the line of 
building up those branches of manufacture for which the country is 
excellently equipped with raw materials. This is true of flour mills, 
meat-packing establishments, sugar refineries, breweries, distilleries, 
etc., all of which not only .supply the needs of the country, but furnish 
a considerable surplus for export. There are also industries with con- 
sideraltle numbers of employees, and representing large investments of 
capital, which are .satisfying to an increasing extent the needs of the 
people for clothing, footwear, furniture and household goods, metallic 
products, chemicals, etc. Electric lighting and gas plants are also 
increasing in numlx-r and are largely in foreign hands. All this has 
had its effect on the character of the export trade.

This table shows that the value of animal products, which consti- 
tuted nearly 95 per cent of the entire export trade of the country in 
1872, dropped to less than two-thirds of the total in 1S95 and but 43 
per cent in 1905, while agricultural products have increased from about 
one-fifth of I per cent to more than one-half of the total exports, manu- 
factured ]>r()ducts furnishing more than 3i per cent of the total export 
trade in 1905. 

commerce. 

The imports and exports of Argentina in the past fifteen years are 
shown on another page. A comparison of the figures shows that 
while in 1891 the exports exceeded the imports by neariy S35,000,000, 
in 1905 the exports exceeded the imports by more than $116,000,000. 
During this period the imports trebled, increasing from nearly G5 million 
dollars to 195 millions, or 200 per cent, while the exports increased 
from nearly 100 millions to 312 millions, or 212 per cent. 

Great Britain, which enjoys the largest share of the import trade, 
sent into Argentina in 1905 merchandise worth 66 million dollars, or a 
little over one-third of the total. Next, in order of importance is Ger- 
many, the imports from which in 1905 exceeded 28 million dollars in 
value, closely followed bj' the United States, from which Argentina 
imported commodities worth nearly 28 million dollars. The onlj' 
other countries of importance in the import trade of Argentina are 
France, wiili over 20 million dollars, and Italy, with \9\ million dollars. 
Until a few years ago the imports from Great Britain were greater than 
those from the United States, German}^, and France combined. In 
the last few years, however, the relative share of the British trade in 
Argentina has been gradually declining, and that of the United States, 
Germany, and France has been increasing, as shown by the following 
table:

The growth of the imports from the principal countries with which 
Argentina is doing business is shown by the following table prepared by 
Special Agent Hutchinson, sent to South America by the Department 
of Commerce and Labor for the studj- of the commercial possibilities of 
that continent. The annual average for a five-year period is taken to 
avoid accidental fluctuations from year to j'ear.

This table shows that while the imports from the United States have 
increased over 100 per cent, those from Germany advanced only 50 
per cent, from England 20 per cent, and from France less than 2 per 
cent. From being fifth in the order of importance in the five-year 
period from 1894 to 1898, the United States advanced to the fourth 
place in the following quin(|uennial period, leaving France behind. In 
1905 the United States advanced to the third place, leaving Italy 
behind as well, and being next to Great Britain and Germany. 

The principal imports of Argentina are textiles and wearing apparel, 
various manufactures of iron and steel, pottery, glass, food products,

manufiu'tures of wood, beverages, chemicals, minerals and oils, paper 
and tobacco; in most of these, textiles being a notable exception, the 
United States plays an important part. In fact, as shown by Mr. 
Hutchinson, on the basis of an annual average for the five-year period, 
1S99-1903, the United States took first rank in six of the important 
classes of Argentine imports, viz, agricultural machinery and imple- 
ments, sewing machines, unmanufactured wood, mineral oil, cordage 
and twine, and scientific instruments; the United States ranked second 
in the following five classes of Argentine imports, machinery other 
than agricultural and sewing machines, iron and steel wire, builders' 
hardware, railway and street cars, chemicals and drugs. In five of the 
important classes of imports the United States ranked third or lower.

The merchandise covered in the above table includes 90 per cent of the 
imports of Argentina from the United States and 60 per cent of the 
total imports of Argentina from foreign countries. The remaining 40 
per cent of Argentine purchases from abroad include articles in which 
the United States contributes but little or nothing, such as coal, wines, 
porcelain, and other products. 

As regards exports, Great Britain again figures as the most important 
customer of Argentina, being credited with more than 43 million dollars' 
worth of Argentina's exports in 1905. As a matter of fact, however, the 
exports to Great Britain are really much larger, since a large portion of 
the cereals shipped from Argentina to St. Vincent and Las Palmas "for 
orders" usually finds its way to Great Britain. Thus, according to the 
estimate of the Argentine consul-general at London, the exports from 
the Republic to Great Britain in 1903 amounted to about 9.5 milhon dol- 
lars, as compared with the official figures which credited that country 
with onl)^ 35 millions. The next in the order of importance of Argen- 
tina's customers, according to the Argentine figures, is France with over 
36 million dollars in 1905, followed by Germany with $35,761 ,000 worth , 
and Belgium mth 20 million dollars' worth. It is probable, however, 
that a very large part of the exports to Belgium find their way ulti- 
mately to Germany, which would in that case rank second in the order 
of importance, leaving France behind. The United States was credited 
in 1905 with more than 15 million dollars' worth of Argentine's ex- 
ports, which is the largest figure on record in the histor}- of trade rela- 
tions between the two republics, being more than double the figure of 
ten years ago. Argentina buys more from the United States than it sells 
to our country. The principal exports of Argentina are cereals, linseed, 
animal products, and dyewoods, of most of which the European coun- 
tries are in greater need than the United States. In the fiscal j'ear 1904, 
the most important articles of importation to the United States from 
Argentina were as follows: Hides and skins, .$4,366,580; wool, unmanu- 
factured, $3,566,661; and chemicals and drugs, including dyewoods, 
$1,084,856; these constituting about nine-tenths of the entire export 
trade of Argentina with the United States. The course of the export

The annual exports of Argentina have been regularly in excess of the 
imports since 1S94. Previous to that the imports usually exceeded the 
oxjxirts. Tiiis may be explained by the facts (1) that Argentina is to a 
greater and greater extent satisfying the immediate wants of its people; 
(2) that its rapidly increasing population is furnishing a larger and 
larger surplus of agricultural products in excess of their own immediate 
needs; (3) that in the previous years a considerable part of the large 
imports represented investment of foreign capital in railways and manu- 
facturing enterprises which reached the country in the form of steel 
rails, railway rolling stock, machinery, and other equipment required by 
railways and industrial plants, which were almost entirely imported 
from the countries which furnished the capital. A great part of the 
excess of exports represents now the interest on the investment which 
the foreign capitalists are deriving from Argentina, as well as the pay- 
ment of interest and principal on the public debt held in Europe. 

TRANSPORTATION. 

Steamships and sailing vessels. — The shipping service of Argentina is 
rapidly developing, following the growth of her foreign trade, and a con- 
siderable number of vessels carry the Argentine flag. In 1869 there 
were 1,698 sailing vessels and steamships flying the Argentine flag; in 
1895 the number had increased to 2,654. The progress in shipbuilding 
resulting in the building of larger steamers, the tonnage increased even 
to a larger extent, viz, from 151,177 toas in 1869 to 368,634 tons in 1895, 
an increase of 144 percent. In 1895 there were 406 steamers, with a ton- 
nage exceeding 190,000, that is, more than one-half of the total tonnage 
of the countn,- that year. More than 66 per cent of the steamers and 88 
per cent of the .sailing vessels carried the Argentine flag. The growth 
of the foreign .shipping of Argentina is shown by the following figures: 
In 1890, 6,340,955 tons; 1899, 6,939,-567 tons: 1903, 10,654,127 tons. 
The proportion Ix'tween the oversea trade and the coastwise and river 
trade will be seen from the following figures for 1903:

The (iovernment is endeavoring further to increase the steamship 
service with European countries by offering advantageous contracts to 
foreign steamship companies which will undertake to furni.sh quick and 
frequent steamship transportation between European and Argentine 
ports at regular intervals. 

With the great expansion of the Argentine trade .serious difliculties are 
encountered in accommodating vessels which arrive in the Argentine 
ports, resulting in great delays in the dischai-ge and unloading of the ves- 
sels. This is especially true during the "rush " .sea.sons, such a.s the time 
of the arrival of large consignments of agricultural machinery and imple- 
ments to be used in harvesting the crops and at the time of the ship- 
ments of agricultural products to European countries. It is expected 
that such difTicultics may be overcome in the near future, as preparations 
are going on for the enlargement of existing dock and wharf facilities at 
La Plata, Bahia Blancn, and other Argentine ports. 

liailways. — Argentina has shown from the beginning of its industrial 
development a greater appreciation of and energy- in providing adequate 
railway facilities than any other of the Latin American countries. In 
1900 it had the largest railway mileage of any country in America south 
of the United States. Most of the railways of Argentina are owned by 
private companies, but a few lines are owned and of>erated by the Na- 
tional Government and by some of the provinces. The first railway 
built in Argentina in 1854 was 12 miles long. The first extension of the 
railway lines was directed with a view to connect ing'Buenos Aires with 
the principal ports of the country and to opening the rich agricul- 
tural and grazing lands of the interior. In 1870 there were 454 miles of 
railway connecting Buenos Aires and Rosario on the Parana River and 
Cordoba in the heart of the countrj'. Between 1870 and 1880 the great 
trunk lines were added, leading north to Tucuraan and west to Villa 
Mercedes in the province of San Luis. During the following decade 
railroad building broke all records, the mileage in 1890 reaching 5,860 
and the entire country being covered by a network of railways radiating 
from the three great industrial centers on the Parana River — Buenos 
Aires, Santa Fe, and Rosario. The railway in that year extended as far 
north as Salta near the Chilean frontier on the west, reached Mendoza at 
the foot of the ,\ndes, and also near the Chilean boundary on the south, 
to the sea at Bahia Blanca. The mileage was nearly doubled again in 
the succeeding decade, aggregating 10,595 miles in 1900, including a 
southwest extension to Neuquen and a trans-Andean road connecting 
Mendoza with Punta de las Vacas. In 1904 the Argentine railway sys- 
tem had a length of 12,000 miles, with 1,529 miles of new lines under 
construction and contracts signed for 4,595 miles of further railroad 
extension. 



The import tariff aims to protect the few commodities which can be 
produced in Argentina. It divides the imports into eleven classes, nine 
of which have the following duties: 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50, and 25 
per cent ad valorem. A duty of 25 per cent ad valorem is levied on all 
goods not specially enumerated in the tariff and not exempted from 
dutj-. Tlie 5 per cent dutj' is levied on a large number of products, 
including iron and steel wire, jewelry, electric appliances, plows, crude 
sulphur, raw cotton, and cotton yarn, iron in bars, plates, or ingots, tin 
plate, wool and flax yam, agricultural machinery, typewriters, motorS, 
and several other products; 40 per cent ad valorem is imposed on all 
kinds of cloth, leather goods, iron and steel safes, footwear of all kinds, 
tanned hides and skins, printed matter, furniture, etc.; 50 per cent ad 
valorem is applied tp arms and ammunition, harness, vehicles, and per- 
fumery. The 10 per cent class includes a large number of products 
principallv clas.sed under foods, beverages, and tobacco, and some mis- 
cellaneous products, all of w^hich are .subject to .specific duties. The 
eleventh cla.ss includes articles admitted free of duty, among which are 
animals, coal, iron and steel rails and other equipment for steam and 
electric railways, flour, iron and steel scrap, fruits, books, locomotives, 
reaping and binding machines, thrashing machines worked by steam, 
machines for sugar refining, for ships, butter making, and several other 
kinds of machinery', as well as other products. It should be added that 
the goods subject to ad valorem rates are assigned a certain fixed value 
in the tariff law, thus making the rates virtually specific. Thest^ values 
are usually revised once a year, thus resulting in annual changes of many 
of the schedules in the tariff. 



COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1905. 



11 



BOLIVIA. 

[Area, 729,000 square miles; population in 1904 estimated at 2,180,000.] 

The total commerce of Bolivia in 1904, the latest year for which sta- 
tistics are available, was $17,173,000, of which $8,306,000 was imports 
and $8,867,000 exports. Of the imports, 6.66 per cent was drawn from 
the United States, and of the exports only about $100 worth was sent 
to the United States. The official figures of the United States with 
reference to its trade with Bolivia show that the imports from that 
countiy were $30 in 1890, $22 in 1900, and nothing in 1905, and that the 
exports thereto have grown from $11,002 in 1890 to $59,223 in 1900, 
and $106,041 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

COMMERCE. 

The commerce of Bolivia, while showing some signs of growth during 
the last decade, is still insignificant considering the abundant natural 
resources of the country. The exports averaged $9,582,000 per annum 
during the period of 1895-1899 and $11,868,000 during 1900-1904, show- 
ing an increase of 24 per cent. The imports for the corresponding periods 
averaged $5,124,000 and $6,449,000, respectively, showing an increase 
of 26 per cent. Of the exports for 1904, which amounted to 21,162,947 
bolivianos ($8,973,088), the value of the mineral products exported 
amounted to 15,843,474 bolivianos ($6,718,016), and of the agricultural 
and forest products (chiefly rubber, cocoa, cinchona bark, and tobacco) 
4,658,854 bolivianos ($1,975,152). As the mineral resources of the 
country are exploited by European capital, mining machinery and sub- 
plies, which constitute a considerable bart of the imports to Bolivia, 
come from European countries, especially Germany and England. The 
distribution of the Bolivian export trade can not be determined with any 
degree of accuracy, owing to the fact that over 90 per cent of the export 
trade is carried on by way of Chilean and Peruvian ports, especially 
Antofagasta and Mollendo, and the declarations of destination are so 
imperfect that about 80 per cent of the exports for 1904 are stated as 
"destination unknown." The figures of imports, which are of greatest 
importance for the commerce of the United States, are more detailed. 
According to the ofEcial figures for 1904, Germany supplied 19.88 per 
cent of the total imports, Great Britain 19.18 per cent, Peru 17.11 per 
cent, Chile 6.97 per cent, and the United States 6.67 per cent. It is 
probable that the figures of the imports from the United States are un- 
derestimated, while those for Chile and Peru are overestimated. The 
imports from the United States are made up largely of manufactures of 
iron and steel, cotton goods, and flour. The cotton goods imported to 
Bolivia are largely of the cheaper kinds and come mostly from Germany, 
England, the United States, and Peru. The two adjoining countries, 
Chile and Peru, supply a considerable proportion of the food stuffs im- 
ported into Bolivia. The dynamite used in the mineral industries comes 
almost exclusively from Germany. 

BRAZIL. 

[Area, 3,218,130 square miles; population in 1890, 14,333,915.] 

The total commerce of Brazil in 1904, the latest year for which sta- 
tistics are available, was $317,144,000, of which $125,776,000 was im- 
ports and $191,368,000 exports. Of the imports 11.1 per cent was drawn 
from the United States, and of the exports 50.4 per cent was sent to the 
United States. The official figures of the United States with reference 
to its trade with Brazil show that the imports from that country decreased 
from $59,318,756 in 1890 to $58,073,457 in 1900, and increased to 
$99,843,094 in 1905; and the exports thereto decreased from $11,972,214 
in 1890 to $11,578,119 in 1900 and $10,985,096 in 1905, these being fiscal- 
year figures in all cases. 

Brazil is the largest country in South America; its total area, 3,218,130 
square miles, exceeds by nearly 250,000 miles that of the United States 
excluding Alaska. It lies almost wholly within the Tropics. Its great- 
est length from north to south is about 2,660 miles and from east to west 
about 2,700 miles. 

The population is variously estimated to be from 16 to 20 million 
people, of which about 2,700,000 are foreigners, including over 1 million 
Italians, three-quarters of a million Portuguese, and about a quarter of a 



million Germans. The latest satisfactory censuswas that of 1890, which 
showed 14,.3.33,915 people, of which 6,302,000 were whites, 4,038,000 
mestizos or half castes, 2,097,000 negroes, and 1,296,000 Indians. « 

The country may be divided, roughl}' speaking, into three large re- 
gions — northern Brazil, central Brazil, and southern Brazil. 

Northern Brazil, the first section, comprises the region along the 
Amazon and its tributaries, including the States of Amazonas, Para, 
Maranhao, Piauhy, and part of the States of Matto Grosso and Goyaz. 
It consists mostly of low lands covered with dense forests, has a tropical 
climate marked by excessive heat heat and rainfall, and is but sparsely 
populated, having not much over 2 million people upon an area of 
2,290,000 square miles, or less than 1 person to the square mile. Owing 
to these conditions there is not much industrial activity, work being 
largely confined to the utilization of the immense forests, especially the 
extraction of rubber. Agriculture is developed but slightly, as is raising 
stock, mainly to produce hides. Northern Brazil produces about 96 per 
cent of the rubber exported from the country and 99 per cent of the Bra- 
zil nuts, but only 20 per cent of the cocoa, 10 per cent of the cotton, 16 
per cent of the dry hides, and 7 per cent of the salt hides, which go to make 
up the export trade of Brazil. 

Central Brazil, the second section, is smaller in area, but much more 
populous and more important from an industrial point of view. It has, 
according to the census of 1890, a population of about 5J millions, and 
an area of 342,000 square miles, making an average of about 16 persons 
per square mile. It includes the following States: Ceara, Rio Grande do 
Norte, Parahyba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, and Bahia, all border- 
ing on the Atlantic. Although it is within the Tropics, the average tem- 
perature is not so high as in northern Brazil, owing to the high plateau 
and the mountains which cross a great part of this territory. For the 
same reason there is less moisture in the air and in the ground, making 
the latter more readily available for cultivation. Agriculture, therefore, 
is thriving to a greater extent than in the north, yielding some of the 
most valuable products of Brazil. This section furnishes 96 per cent of 
the tobacco exports, 97 per cent of the goat and sheep skins, 84 per cent 
of the cotton, 77 per cent of the cocoa, practically all the sugar, and 70 
per cent of the diamonds exported from Brazil. 

The third or southern section is the most important part of the coun- 
try, having the largest population, nearly 9 million people according to 
the census of 1890, distributed over an area of 584,000 square miles, and 
comprising the States of Espirito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Geraes, 
Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catharina, Rio Grande do Sul, and the Fed- 
eral capital. The great plateau which traverses it from the north to the 
south parallel to the coast diminishes in height as it approaches the 
south, finally disappearing when it reaches the State of Rio Grande do 
Sul. This elevation makes the climate of the northern States of this 
section temperate in spite of their location within the Tropics, while the 
southern States have a temperate climate owing to their location outside 
of the Tropics. The temperate climate and fertile soil, well drained by 
numerous rivers, favor abundant crops in this section, which furnishes 
practically all of the coffee crop of Brazil, amounting to considerably 
more than one-half of the world's supply. In addition to the cultiva- 
tion of coffee and yerba mate, there is also considerable stock breeding 
both for slaughter and for the hides. Mining is also carried on to a con- 
siderable extent, this section furnishing practically all the gold and 
manganese exported from Brazil. 

* INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT. 

Brazil is believed to be the richest country in minerals in the world. 
It is estimated that not less than 600 milUon dollars' worth of gold had 
been taken out of Brazil previous to 1820. At present the gold mining 
industry is insignificant, and is only now beginning to be developed, 
mostly by British companies. In 1900 about 2J million dollars' worth 
of gold was exported. The country is also rich in diamonds, and has 
large deposits of iron, lead, copper, zinc, coal, manganese, and quick- 
silver. It is estimated that since the discovery^ of diamonds in 1723 
fully 100 million dollars' worth of them have been exported from Brazil. 
In 1905 the total exports of minerals were valued at nearly 5 million 
dollars.

textile industry has resulted in a considerahle reduction of the import 
trade in cotton jjisids, es|K'<-ially the cluuper varieties. The next impor- 
tant industry is that of .suf^ar reliniii);. Another industry to which the 
Brazilian manufacturers are turning; their attention is the manufacture 
of leather floods in all ((ranches, from the working of hides to tlie final 
leather products. With the growth of the mininf^ industry, .smelting 
Works, foundries, and various metal products are increasing. With the 
increasing inuiiigration of .skilled Europeans and the growing invest- 
ments of FIurojK'un capital, there is an increasing number of industrial 
estahli.shmenls which manufacture products such as paper, gluas, wines, 
beer, cotton-seed oil, mutches, sulphuric acid, soap, candles, and other 
products required for consumption in the country. 

COMMERCE. 

Owing to the differences in climate and in the industrial resources of 
the various parts of the viwt country, their respective wants differ, result- 
ing in a coasiderahle differentiation of the import trade. The States in 
the northern section (which is the nearest to the United States and the 
only part of Brazil which can Ix- reached in less time from the United 
States than from KurojM') take more freely of our manufactured prod- 
ucts than do the States lying at the soutli, and offer an attractive field 
for American exports of flour, cheap cotton goods, hardware, provisions, 
etc. The southern sections are less favorable to the export trade of the 
United States, being no nearer to us than they are to the principal Euro- 
pean markets. Owing to the growth of domestic industries they offer 
leas opportunity for textiles, hut on the other hand are developing a 
market for all kinds of iron and steel products, especially machinery, 
im|>lements, and tiKtls, and in all of these lines the United States is hav- 
ing a growing trade. 

The course of trade with the principal countries with which Brazil is 
doing business for each j'ear in the past quarter of a century is indicated 
on another page. As no official statistics of foreign trade were com- 
piled in Brazil l)efore 1901, figures of its imports and exports previous 
to that year could only l>e compiled from the returns of countries export- 
ing to and im[>orting from Brazil. In addition to the figures referred to, 
whi<'h were compiled in the Bureau of Statistics, Special Agent Hutchin- 
son, who visited Brazil last winter to .study trade conditions for the 
Department of Commerce and Lalxtr, has gathered considerahle infor- 
mation, portions of which are utilized in the present sketch. It is 
known that the imports of Brazil from foreign countries considerably 
declined during the last five yours owing to a number of causes, such 
as n protracted financial and commercial crisis, resulting in the decline 
of the purchasing |)owerof the [wople, and the growth of certain lines of 
industry which enabled the |>opulation to .siiti.sfj' their own wants in- 
stead of depending u()on imports from fori-ign countries, etc. In order 
to trace the development of Brazil's foreign trade during the last 
decade and eliminate the fluctuations from year to year due to inciden- 
tol caust«s, Mr. llutchin.st)n takes annual averages of five-year periods, 
as appears from the following table prepared by him:

The total irgports of Brazil, as will \>e seen from this table, have de- 
clined and all leading countries show a loss in their trade with the excep- 
tion of Italy, the imports from which were not verj- large, the increase 
being due to the Italian immigration into Brazil. At the .same time, the 
decline of the imfxirts from the United States was less relatively than 
from the other countries, U-iiig l.SJ per cent as against a 22.4 per cent 
decline in the total import trade of Brazil. 

The most important group of products among the Brazilian imports is 
food studs. The imports of these, shown by the following table, have 
declined more than 17 per cent in the last decade, the imports from 
Spain and France showing the greatest decline, and tho.se from Italy and 
Argentina the least. The decrea.se in imports is due largelj' to the in- 
crease in home production of com, rice, flour, beef, and pork products:

Argentina is able to hold her own in the Brazilian import trade by 
capturing the southern Brazilian markets for flour, which trade the 
United States has thus lost. Taking the importation of breadstuffs 
alone, we find the total imports nearly stationary, but while the United 
States shows a loss of nearly 2.5 fKjr cent, Argentina, the onl)* serious 
competitor of the United States, gained 16 per cent, as shown by the fol- 
lowing table:

Textiles constitute, next to foodstuffs, the most important class of 
imports. They also show a decline in every line. The imports of cotton 
manufactures decreased from an annual average of more than 17 million 
dollars in the period 1894-1898 to an average of less than 12 millions in 
the period 1899-1903. Imports of woolen manufactures declined 49 
per cent in the same period, from an average of nearly $4,500,000 to 
$2,285,000; likewise silk manufactures decUned SJ per cent, from 
$628,000 to $593,000.

The Brazilian imports of silk and woolen goods from the United States 
are insignificant. 

The iron and steel group is next in importance and furnishes the most 
encouraging returns from the United States point of view. The total 
imports of iron and steel products, as seen from the following table, de- 
clined from over 16 million dollars to 11 J million dollars, or 29^ per cent. 
The United States, which shows the smallest loss, viz, 12 per cent, in- 
creased her share of the Brazilian iron trade from less than 12 per cent of 
the total iron and steel imports in the period 1894-1898 to nearly 15 per 
cent in the succeeding five-year period :

Taking up the separate products of iron and steel we find that as re- 
gards some of the most important lines the United States shows a posi- 
tive gain, sometimes very large, at the expense of its competitors. Thus, 
the imports of railway rails from the United States increased from an 
annual average of $15,000 in the period of 1894-1898 to $95,000 in the 
five-year period of 1899-1903, w^hile the total imports of rails declined in 
the same time from $832,000 to $592,000. Similarly the imports of iron 
and steel wire from the United States increased from $170,000 to 
$254,000,or nearly 50 per cent, while the total imports of that product in- 
creased from $588,000 to $615,000, or less than 5 per cent. Imports of 
firearms from the United States increased from $69,000 to $89,000, or 29 
per cent; while the total imports of firearms declined from $924,000 to 
$352,000. The imports of nails and spikes from the United States in- 
creased from $18,000 to $22,000, or over 22 per cent, while the total im- 
ports declined from $101,000 to $69,000. Imports of other products in 
this group from the United States increased as follows:

In agricultural implements the United States barely holds its own, the 
average annual imports having declined from $29,000 in the period of 
1894-1898 to $27,000 in the period from 1899-1903. During the same 
time the imports of agricultural implements and machinery declined 
from $600,000 to $449,000. The imports of saws and tools from the 
United States during the same period declined from$183,000 to$177,000, 
or 3J per cent, while tho.se from Great Britain, the chief competitor, 
declined from $658,000 to $562,000, or over 14 per cent. American loco- 
motives, which led in the first five-year period, when the United States 
furnished an annual average of over $671,000 out of a total importation 
of $959,000, declined to $120,000 per annum in the second five-year 
period, surrendering the lead to the United Kingdom. The total 
imports, however, also declined to $336,000. In sewing machines the 
United States occupied the second place in the first five-year period, with 
an annual average of $118,000, while Germany during the same period 
furnished $178,000 worth per annum. During the second five-year period 
the imports from all countries sufl'ered a decline, but those from the 
United States to a greater extent than the rest, having declined to 
$87,000 and taking the third place, being next to Germany and the 
United Kingdom. 

In other products, such as leather goods, paper, scientific instruments, 
explosives, paints, glassware, copper manufactures, coal, petroleum, cot- 
ton-seed oil, and naval stores, imports from the United States increased. 
The average annual Brazilian imports of leather and its manufactures from 
the United States increased from $32,000 to $111,000 during the period 
mentioned, or 247 per cent, while the total imports in that line declined 
from $2,975,000 to $1,760,000, or more than 40 per cent. As regards 
paper, paints, glassware, copper, and coal, the following table shows the 
increase in imports from the United States compared with the changes in 
the total Brazilian trade in those lines:

EXPOETS. 

The principal exports of Brazil are coffee, rubber, tobacco, hides and 
skins, cocoa, verba mate, sugar, gold, and diamonds. The growth of 
the Brazilian export trade during the last quarter of a century is 
shown on another page. As will be seen from the figures for 1904, 
which are the latest published by the Brazilian Government, the United 
States was the largest customer of Brazil, having taken more than 96 
million dollars worth of goods out of a total Brazilian exportation of 
over 191 million dollars, i.e., a little over one-half its total exports. The 
next important country in the Brazilian export trade is the United 
Kingdom, which took nearly 31 million dollars worth of Brazilian prod- 
ucts, or about 17 per cent, followed bj- Germany with less than 27 mil- 
lion dollars worth, or nearly 1.5 per cent. The following table shows 
the principal products imported by the United States from Brazil in 
1905:

Tlie importance of the United States as a market for the products of 
Brazil will appear from the statement that we take 80 per cent of its 
goat hides, 40 per cent of its manganese, 76 per cent of its .sugar, 50 per 
cent of its nibi)er, 2.5 per cent of its cacao, about .50 per cent of its 
coflee, ancj 65 per cent of its Brazil nuts. 

EXCHANGE. 

One of the disturbing factors in the foreign trade of Brazil is the 
unstable currency, resulting from the flood of irredeemable paper money 
issued in the past. The value of the gold milreis, which is the standard 
of money in Brazil, is 54.0 cents; the paper milreis has fluctuated all 
the way from par in 1889 to less than 12 cents in 1899. Since then the 
value of the paper milreis has Ix-en gradually improving and was as high 
as .3-1 cents la.st yeai*. At present it is aixjut 31 cents. These fluctua- 
tions of the papi-r money, which is practically the .sole medium of circu- 
lation, bring in an unhealthy element of speculation in the import and 



export transactions of the importers and native producers. Tliis is 
intensified by the fact that the retail prices remain alx)ut the same, as 
they are mostly quoted in terms of paper money. It also affects the 
customs duties paid by importers of foreign merchandise, since the 
greater part of the duties is payable in paper money. 

transportation. 

Wat^r trari'Sportation. — The shipping facilities of Brazil are very good, 
but are better calculated to accommodate her trade with European 
countries than with the United States. Most of the oceanic lines are 
in the hands of the English, though German companies have been con- 
stantly increasing lines of direct steamship communication with Brazil. 
A French companj' has also one of the largest lines plying regularly 
between ports of France and Brazil. According to Mr. Hutchinson's 
report, tlie European ser\-ice "is carried on by large and fast steamers, 
thoroughly equipped in every way for freight, passenger, and mail busi- 
ness, i-unning on accurate schedule time, and giving regular commu- 
nication between Brazil and Europe, in each direction, at least six 
times per month; while the steamers from the United States are small 
and slow, have only inferior accommodation for passengers, and, with 
the exception of a single sailing each month (the Lamport and Holt 
Line), are more or less irregular as to time of departure and arrival." 

In freight rates there is veiy little difference as between goods car- 
ried from the United States or European countries. On a large num- 
ber of products a reduction from the regular freight rates is allowed if 
shipped in sufPcicntly large quantities (from 1 to 400 tons) b^' one 
steamer on one bill of lading. Since Europe ships greater quantities 
of these products than the United States and since the custom of com- 
bining many small shipments into one through the agency of an export 
commission house is much more in vogue in Europe than in the United 
States, the Europeans get to that extent somewhat more favorable 
rates than the United States. The difference, however, in most cases, 
amounts to about 60 cents per ton, which is not sufficiently large to be 
of material consequence in deflecting trade from one channel to another. 
The chief advantage of the European countries as regards shipping facili- 
ties, lies, in the opinion of Mr. Hutchinson, in the frequency and regu- 
laritj' of the sailings of European lines. The following table was com- 
piled by Mr. Hutchinson from consular invoices and other official 
sources to get a comparison of the cost of carrying goods from the 
United States and our chief European competitors:

Ratlumiis. — The railways of Brazil aggregate about 5,500 miles, but 
do not form a complete or unified system of communication between the 
different parts of that vast country. The high mountains rising ab- 
ruptly within a short distance from the coast make communication with 
the interior exceedingly diiricult, and the construction of railroads has 
been greatly hampered and delayed b^' these phj'sical obstacles, as well 
OS by the sparsity of population, which does not promise sufficient return 
for the construction of costlj' roadbeds. As a result, the railroads of 
Brazil consist of many short and separate lines running from the various 
ports a comparatively short distance into the interior. 
I.7,0f late years efforts have been made to connect the various lines so as 
to bring them into a unified sj'stem from north to south. RoughU', 
the railroads of the country may be divided into three sections — north, 
middle, ard south — althougli, to be more exact, thev may l>e grouped 
under five heads, according to the principal center from which they

radiate. Beginning at the extreme north and taking them in their 
order southward tlio following railway systems may be enumerated: 
(1) Radiating from Pernambuco; (2) Bahia; (3) Central Brazil; 
(4) Rio Grande do Sul; (5) various isolated lines. 

As regards ownership and management, the railways of Brazil may be 
divided into three groups: Those owned and operated by the Govern- 
ment, about 1,000 miles; those owned by the Government and leased to 
private companies, about 1 ,400 miles, and those owned and operated by 
private companies, about 3,200 miles. 



The Brazilian tarifif is highly protective, high duties being levied on 
every product which, in the opinion of the Brazilian people, can be pro- 
duced at home. Many commodities which can not be produced in 
Brazil and which are important in the consumption of the people are 
also taxed by high duties in order to provide a revenue for the Govern- 
ment. Among these are wheat and petroleum. Among the few prod- 
ucts admitted free of duty are dry and stuffed animals for museums, 
manures, eggs, trees, plants, and seeds imported for gardens, coal, 
broken glass, gold, s'ilver, platinum in bar or dust, and agricultural im- 
plements. By special arrangements, however, machinery, implements, 
and other articles necessary for the equipment of plants in newly-estab- 
lished industries are being admitted free at the discretion of the Execu- 
tive, the Government being anxious to attract foreign capitalists and 
build up industries in the country. The tariff is revised once a year 
along with the budget. The duties are mostly specific. Although the 
tariff is very long, containing more than 1,000 schedules, which enumer- 
ate between three and four thousand articles, provision is made for 
unenumerated articles, which are to be rated as similar articles men- . 
tioned in the tariff, or at 50 per cent ad valorem if no analogous article 
can be found in the tariff. 

In addition to the tariff rates proper there are numerous other taxes, 
such as port dues, custom-house fees, tonnage charges, etc., so that even 
articles nominally admitted free of duty pay something like 15 per cent 
ad valorem in fees of all kinds. 

Previously duties were paid in paper money. Later provision was 
made for a small percentage of the duties to be paid in gold, which was 
gradually increased to 25 per cent. By the law which went into eife»t 
January 1, 1906, 35 per cent of the duties is payable in gold and the 
balance in paper, and on a considerable number of articles 50 per cent 
is payable in gold. The recent rise in the value of the paper milreis has 
resulted automatically in a further increase of the duty to the extent of 
about 25 per cent. By a recent order of the Brazilian Government a 
reduction of 20 per cent from the duties is granted to the following 
products coming from the United States: Manufactures of rubber, dyes, 
varnishes, clocks, condensed milk, windmills, air motors, electric ma- 
chinery, firearms, carriages and buggies, drugs and druggist supplies, 
glassware (the fair grades), hardware, launches, yachts, dredges, lubri- 
cating oils, medicinal preparations, paper and manufactures thereof, 
pianos, railroad material, scales, surgical instruments and appliances, 
toilet soap, typewriters, preserved fruits, Portland cement, manufac- 
tures of iron and steel, apples, men's ready-made clothes, suitings, etc., 
and cutlery. 

CANADA. • 

[Area, 3,745,574 square miles; population in 1901, 5,371,315.] 

The total commerce of Canada in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905, 
was $425,166,000, of which $251,618,000 was imports and $173,548,000 
exports. Of the imports 60.6 per cent was from the United States, and 
of the exports 30.8 per cent was sent to the United States. The official 
figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Canada 
show that the imports from that country have growTi from $39,042,977 
in 1890 and $39,369,074 in 1900 to $62,469,632 in 1905; and the exports 
thereto, from $40,282,108 in 1890 to $95,319,970 in 1900, and $140,529,- 
581 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

The Dominion of Canada comprises the northern half of North 
America with the exception of Alaska, Greenland, Labrador, and New- 
foundland, which colony still continues its separate existence, not hav- 
ing joined the Canadian Confederation.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF CANADA. 

The growth of the foreign commerce of the Dominion since the con- 
federation in 1868 is illustrated by the following table, which shows the 
total values of imports for consumption and exports for 1868, 1870, 
and every subsequent fifth year to 1900, and the annual commerce 
from 1900 to 1905, as stated in the Tables of the Trade and Navigation 
of the Dominion of Canada, published by the Canadian customs depart-

In the case of imports the figures showing imports for consumption 
were taken, the only figures in terms of which imports by countries are 
stated for the entire period. The difference between the aggregate gen- 
eral imports and imports for consumption for the entire period 1868 to 
1903 is about 5 per cent. 

The value of the total foreign commerce of the Dominion appears to 
have increased about 255 per cent; the value of imports has more than 
trebled, while that of exports has nearly quadrupled. Of the aggregate 
trade about 52 per cent is with the United States, and about 35 per cent 
with the United Kingdom, the relative proportions since 1868 being as 
follows:

PROGRESS of CANADIAN TRADE WITH THE UNITED STATES AND THE 
UNITED KINGDOM. 

The progress of Canadian trade with the United States and the 
United Kingdom reveals peculiarities deserving of notice. A com- 
parison of the Canadian figures of imports for consumption for the 
years l)oginning with 1873 with those of more recent years shows 
that the relative importance of the mother country as a purveyor of 
goods to the Dominion ha,s considerahly decreased. The share of the 
United Kingdom in the total import trade of the Dominion was in 
1873 neariy .54 jier cent; in 1885 it was only a little over 40 per cent; 
in 1895 this share declined to less than 30 per cent, and in 1897 to 
26.1 per cent. 

Products from the United Kingdom entering the Dominion of Canada 
were in 1897 admitted, by special arrangement, at a reduction of 12J 
per cent on the tariff levied on imports from other countries. On 
August 1, 189K, the reduction in favor of British products was increased 
to 25 per cent, and on July 1, 1900, was still further increiused to 33i 
per cent. This preferential tariff legislation since 1897 in favor of the 
United Kingdom was followed hy a considerable increa.se of imports 
from that country, the import figures for 1905 l>eing more than double 
those for 1897, viz, $60,343,000, against $29,412,000. During the 
same period the total inifKirts, however, increased even at a greater 
rate, so that in 1905 the relative .share of (he United Kingdom in the 
total import trade of the Dominion had decreased to 23 per cent. 
The exjwjrt trade of the Dominion with the United Kingdom .shows 
a different development. Since 1873 there was an absolute growth of 



exports to the mother country from ?3.S,743,.S4S to ?131,202,.321 in 
1903, or 238 6 per cent; init in 1904 the exports declined to 117 mil- 
lions, and in 1905 a further decline to less than 102 million dollars 
took place. While in 1873 43 2 per cent of the total exports were to 
the mother country, this share was 52.1 per cent in 1880, 56.1 per cent 
in ICOO, and r>Q'2 per cent in 190.5. 

The trade with the United States for the same period shows a larger 
growth, as may be seen from the foregoing tables. It shows large 
gains on the import side and much siimiier gains on the export side. 
Thus the increa.se of the imports into Canada from the United States 
between 1873 and 1905, from 847,736,000 to .5162,739,000, amounts to 
nearly 241 per cent, while the exports from the Dominion to the 
United States for the same years show an increase from 842,073,000 
to 877,404,000, or less than 84 per cent. Of the total imports for con- 
sumption, the share from the United States constituted 37.4 per cent 
in 1873, 40.9 per cent in 1880, 46.4 per cent in 1890, 60.7 per cent in 
1900, and 62.1 per cent in 1905, whereas of the total exports the shares 
sent to the United States during the same years were 46.9 per cent, 
37.9 per cent, 41.9 per cent, 35.7 per cent, and 38.1 per cent, respectively. 

ANALYSIS OF COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES WITH CANADA. 

Among the imports into the United States from Canada foodstuflTs 
and raw materials for use in industry constitute the principal items. 
Considerable quantities of bituminous coal come from Xova Scotia and 
British Columbia, the imports in the eastern section of the United 
States especially showing considerable growth during the last decade. 

While the imports from Canada have increased during the decade 
1896-1905 nearly 53 per cent, the fact that the greater part of these 
imports is similar in character to those articles which are produced in 
abundance by the contiguous parts of the United States, and, as a 
rule, under more favorable conditions, accounts to some extent for the 
fact that an increasing proportion of Canadian exports had to seek a 
market oversea, chiefly in the United Kingdom. 

Canada not only ships to the United States, but also recei%-es from 
the United States, considerable quantities of breadstuffs, animals, and 
other raw materials of which, according to common notion, the Domin- 
ion is supposed to produce surplus quantities. The following table 
illustrates this observation;

country is due to the crop shortage of 1904, the figures for the preceding 
year, as well as those for the current year, showing considerable de- 
creases as compared with tho.se for the initial period. 

United States exports to Canada show a gain of 136 per cent during 
the last decade, notwithstanding the application in April, 1897, of prefer- 
ential tariif rates (reduction of r2J per cent) to imports from Great 
Britain and some of its colonics, and the gradual increase of the prefer- 
ence to 25 per cent in August, 1898, and to 33J per cent since July 1, 
1900. This gain is the more remarkable as nearly one-half of these ex-

ports are subject to duty, and thus at a disadvantage when meeting com- 
peting products of British origin. The following tables show the classifi- 
cation of imports for consumption into Canada from the United States 
and Great Britain under the heads of "Dutiable goods" and "Duty-free 
goods, " the latter chiefly raw materials for use in manufactures, and the 
relative percentages of these two classes from the two countries:

The imports of dutiable goods from the United States increased from 
29.1 million dollars in 1896 to 78.8 million dollars in 1905, or nearly 171 
per cent ; i. e., at a rate nearly as high as that shown by the total imports 
from the United States, which increased from 58.6 million dollars to 
162.7 million dollars, or about 177 per cent, during the same period. 

The dutiable imports into the Dominion from the United Kingdom for 
the same period show an increase of about 85 per cent, while the total 
imports from that country increased almost 83 per cent. In other words, 
notwwithstanding preferential treatment, the rate of increase in the im- 
ports of British dutiable goods into Canada was smaller than the rate of 
increase in the imports of American dutiable goods. 

CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLICS. 

[Area, 198,170 square miles ; population, 4,488,000.] 

The total commerce of the Central American Republics in 1904-5, the 
latest year for which statistics are available, was $48,000,000, of which 
$18,534,000 was imports and $29,466,000 exports. Of the imports 42.77 
per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 40.76 
per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the United 
States with reference to its trade with the Central American States show 
that the imports from those countries have grown from $8,052,444 in 
1890 to $8,630,554 in 1900 and $12,929,799 in 1905; and the exports 
thereto o from $5,296,478 in 1890 to $5,926,579 in 1900 and $14,161,940 
in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

COSTA RICA. 

[Area, 18,400 square miles; population in 1903, 322,618.] 

The total commerce of Costa Rica in 1905 was $11,898,000, of which 
$3,760,000 was imports and $8,138,000 exports. Of the imports 
4.5.9 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 
47.1 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of 

'a The imports from and exports to Panama are included in tlie figures for 1905.

the United States with reference to its trade with Costa Rica show 
that the imports therefrom have grown from $1,676,711 in 1890 to 
$2,980,030 in 1900 and $4,296,734 in 1905, and the exports thereto from 
$1,126,170 in 1890 to $1,462,355 in 1900 and $1,768,429 in 1905. 

commerce. 

The total imports and exports of Costa Rica from 1883 to 1905 are 
shown on another page. In the decade 1883 to 1893 the imports 
were almost invariabl}' greatly in excess of the exports, but this relation 
has been completely reversed since 1894, the exports of merchandise in 
1904 having been over $1,500,000 in excess of the imports. , In 1903 the 
excess of exports \\as even greater, namel}- $2,370,000. 

The exports by articles for the years 1895 to 1905 are shown in a tal)le 
herewith. The exports, especially in the last 3'ear, consist almost 
wholly of coffee and bananas. In earlier years lumber formed an item 
of some importance, but has gradually dwindled from its maximum ex- 
port value of $580,721 in 1895 to the present small figure of $46,919. In 
1895 the banana exports were $713,618, or one-sixth of those of'cofl'ee 
($4,291,645). In 1905 banana exports were valued at $3,771,033, or 
nearly equal to those of cofl'ee ($3,041,501). The low figure for coffee 
in 1904 ($3,082,972) can not indeed be regarded as normal, being due to 
unusually bad crops; in 1903 the total export ($4,229,158) was very 
close to the former maximum ; yet on the whole there is an evident de- 
cline. The growth in banana exports, on the other hand, is continuous. 

Up to the end of 1902 the bananas were practically all shipped to the 
United States. In 1903 the United Fioiit Company sent 650,000 bunches 
to Great Britain, and the experiment was so successful that in 1904 the 
shipment was increased to 1,299,500 bunches, and in 1905 to 2,237,779 
bunches, or 23.5 per cent of the total exportation. 

Nearly three-fourths of the cofl'ee goes to Great Britain. The increas- 
ing exports to Great Britain are shown by the following table :

Of the $59,567 worth of cacao e.xpbrted in 1905, Great Britain received 
$30,283, the United States $10,090, Germany $7,735. The United 
States took more than half of the mahogany, the rest going mostly to 
Germany. The cedar exports, on the contrary', went mostly to France 
and Spanish America. France took all the dyewood. Gold bullion and 
skins went exclusively and hides almost exclusively to the United States. 
The same was true of rubber. 

The imports into Costa Rica are derived mainly from six countries: 
United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy. The 
share which each of these countries took in the imports during the years 
1900 to 1905 is shown in the following table :

COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN lito: 



Costa Rica boinp almost exclusively an agricultural country, and its 
exports alnuvst wlioUy products of the soil, its imports naturiiUy consist 
for tlu> most piirt of miinufticturos. Tlu> principal imjiorts for IIX).") are 
sliown hy articles and countries of origin in a tabic herewith. Cotton 
clotli is l)y far the most important item, constituting over one-si.xth of 
tlic total imports, valued at §5,239,-177. Of this, the United Kingdom 
contributed 42 pi-r cent, the United States 29 per cent, and Germany 11 
per cent. The next item in order of importance is wheat flour, $341 ,G81 , 
all from the United States. Cattle imports, valued at S220,()t>7, were 
all from Spanish America. More than half of the woolen cloth im- 
ports came from the United Kingdom, ont'-fourth from Germany, one- 
eighth from France. Railway nuiterial is ne.xt in importance with a total 
of S17."),t>47, of which 7G per cent was funiislicd tiy tlie United States, 16 
per cent by the I'nited Kingdom, and 7 per cent by Germany. Imports 
of iron and manufactures thereof amounted to S152,287, of which the 
United Kingdom furnished more than oni^third, the United States one- 
fourth, and Germany a little more than one-fourth. Machinery was 
imported in 190.5 to the value of S9S,225, of which the United States 
furnished more than three-fourths. Of the total rice imports, amounting 
to SI 11.0.%. nearly one-half comes from Germany. Nearly half the 
drugs and medicines imported came from the United States, the remain- 
der having come in almost equal amounts from the United Kingdom, 
France, and Germany. More tiian half the tobacco imported came from 
the United States and about one-fourth from the United Kingdom. Of 
the $94,442 worth of wine imported, 37 per cent came from France, 22 
per cent from Spain, 14 per cent from the United States, and 12 per cent 
from Italy. Of leather and manufactures theyeof imported, more than 
half came from the United States and about oni'-third from Germany. 

Among articles of minor importance imported, the following were in 
1905 furnished exclusively by the United States: Steam boilers, salt pork, 
iron cisterns, d_\Tiamite, gasoline, corn, peanuts, sugar mills, grain-mill- 
ing and rice-milling machinery, candle-making machinery, dairy 
apparatus, lumber-sawing machiner^^ windmills, mules, precious stones, 
rosin, tallow, wheat. The following were furnished almost exclusively' 
bj' the United States: Bicycles, boots and shoes, salt beef, wagons and 
accessories, commeal, manila rope, lumber, lard, sewing machines, 
typewriters, shoemaking machinery, electric appliances, street-car 
material, agricultural implements, petroleum, powder, and saws. 

Gold specie was imported in 1905 to the value of $470,392, of which 
$391,392 was coin and .$79,000 United States notes, equivalent to gold. 
What amount of this was imported by the United Fruit Companj" for 
the payment of its employees and other expenses is not stated, but in 
1904 the relative shares were as follows: 

Gold imported by the Costa Rica Government 190, 965 

Gold imported by the United Fruit Company 2.50, 000 

United States notes imported bj' United Fruit Company 77, 000 

Total 517, 965 

The exports of gold in 1904 were $29,215, leaving a gain of $488,750 of 
gold and United States notes, equivalent to gold in circulation. 



The Costa Rican tariff consists of a little over one liundred .schedules 
providing for specific rates on various products, divided into ten groups. 
By decree of June 14, 1901, a surtax of 15 per cent on the customs duties 
has been established, and a permanent commission created for the 
preparation of a new tariff in which "articles of luxury and such manu- 
factures as are capable of being turned out in the country shall be liable 
to the highest import duties, the minimum rates being applied to goods 
of priniarj' necessity for con.sumption and to raw materials re(|uired for 
supplying and developing native industries." This commission has been 
recommending from time to time changes in the tarilf, which are being 
enacted. In acldition to the regular rates, wharfage dues and port 
ciuiigcs are also levied.

GUATEMALA. 
[Area, 46,774 square miles; population in 1904, 1,804,000.] 
The total commerce of Guatemala in 1904, the latest year for which 
statistics are available, was $12,593,000, of which $5,041,000 was 
imports and $7,552,000 exports. Of the imports 28.6 per cent was 
drawn from the United States, and of the exports 50.3 per cent was 
sent to the United States. The official figures of the United States 
with reference to its trade with Guatemala show that the imports 
therefrom have grown from $2,281,681 in 1890 to $2,402,978 in 1900 
and $3,081,553 in 1905, and the exports thereto decreased from 
$1,345,719 in 1890 to $785,462 in 1900 and then increased to $2,654,622 
in 1905. 



commerce. 

Guatemala passed through a severe crisis in 1902, having been visited 
in April by a terrible earthquake and in October by an eruption of the 
volcano of Santa Maria, which overwhelmed the cod'cc and other plan- 
tations in the west with heavy deposits of dust and cinders. Tlie effect 
of these catastrophes was a diminution in exports, and, in con.sequcnce 
of the diminished purchasing power of the people, also a diminution in 
'mports. Since then the exports have increased considerably and the 
imports have nearly doubled. 

Since 1897 the value of the exports has exceeded that of the imports, 
as may be gathered from the following table:

Other minor imports are cotton thread, matches, coal, corrugated 
iron, woolen cloth, stearin, tallow, electric appliances, liquors, agri- 
culturai implements, lumber, cigarette paper, cotton undeniveat:j 
wines, raw cotton, preserves, table salt, bank notes, beer, petroleum, 
lace, l)arlx<d wire, and cotton trimmings. 

The United States is still decidedly in the lead in supplying the im- 
ports, though the preponderance is no longer so decided as in 1903 and 
earlier years, when it furnished about one-half the imports, while the 
United Kingdom furnished nearly one-fourth. Comparing 1900 with 
11X)4, the largest gain has been made by Germany, whose imports 
nearly quadrupled, Ijeing now but slightly below those from the United 
Kingdom. The predominance of the United States is explained by the 
fact that it furnishes almost the total of two large items — wheat flour 
and railway material. 

In exports Germany predominates, bj' reason of the fact that the 
largest colTee plantations in Guatemala belong to Germans. For the 
period 1894 to 1904 the exports to Germany constituted 58 per cent of 
the total exports. The United States took one-fourth and the United 
Kingdom a little over one-si.xth. Coffee is by far the largest item of 
export , having formed 88 per cent of the total in 1900, 90 per cent m 1901 , 
8.5 per cent in 1902,84 per cent in 1903, and 8.5 per cent in 1904. In the 
next largest item, rubber, there has been a uniform decline from 1900 
to 19(>l, slackening somewhat in the latter year. The exportation of 
hides, the next largest item, has remained practically stationary since 

1894.

The tariff of Guatemala contains 3,000 schedules, providing specific 
rates for various imports. Additional surtaxes and charges are levied 
similar to those levied in other Spanish-American countries. 

HONDURAS. 

|.\rca, 45,000 square miles: population in 1901, 544,000.] 

The total commerce of Honduras in 1904, the latest year for which 
8tati.stics are available, was S4, 291, OCX), of which §2,102,000 was im- 
ports and $2,129,000 exports. Of the imports 70.2 per cent was drawn 
fmm the United States, and of tho exports 7.5.4 per cent was sent to 
the I'nited States. The ofiicial figures of the United States with ref- 
erence to its trade with Honduras show that the imports therefrom 
have gn)wn from $984,404 in l.S!K) to .?9.S8,fKM) in 1900 and S2, 111,312 
in 190."). and the exports thereto from $.5.52,024 in 1890 to $1,181,453

The United States is far ahead of all other countries both in imports 
and in exports, her share being in each case practically two-thirds of the 
total. The next largest importer, Germany, furnishes only about one- 
seventh the amount of tho United States, while the next best customer, 
Cuba, takes not quite one-fifth the amount of the United States. 

The steady increase both in exports and in imports since 1898 was 
interrupted by a decline in 1902-3, due to internal disorders: but this 
has been followed by a rapid rise in exports and a still greater rise in 
imports, so that the latter are now more than three times as large as in 
1898-99. 

Honduras does not publish detailed statistics of her import trade by 
articles, and the following statement is therefore based on the export 
statistics of the three most important countries in this respect, viz, 
United States, Great Britain, and Germany. The chief item in the 
import trade of Honduras is cotton goods, which in 1904 formed nearly 
one-third of the total exports from the United States to that country 
and more than twi>-thirds of the exports from Great Britain. The Ger- 
man figures, which group together Honduras, Nicaragua, and Salvador, 
also show a great preponderance of cotton goods in the exports, amount- 
ing to nearly one-fourth of the total German exports to those three coun- 
tries. The next largest item in the imports is iron and steel and manu- 
factures thereof, which formed about one-sixth of the exports from the 
United States to Honduras, while in the case of Great Britain it is slightly 
less than the exports of woolens to Honduras. Another large item is 
wheat flour, practically all from the United States. Manufactures of 
leather, mineral oil, and provisions complete the list of tho more impor- 
tant items of importation. 

Fruit is by far the largest item among tho exports, nearly all of it 
being exported to the United States. Bananas in 1904 formed almost 
exactly two-thirds of the total imports of the United States from Hon- 
duras, and constituted 42 percent of the total exports of Honduras. The 
exjjorts of live stwk, chiefly to Cuba and the neighboring Central Amer- 
ican States, in 1W2-3 were valued at S30.5.109. and in 190;?-4 .?412,128, 
in gold. Cabinet woods go mostly to the United States; hides to the 
United States and to Europe. 



COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1905. 



21 



The import tariflf of Honduras comprises more than 1,600 schedules, 
all specific duties being charged according to weight, the only exception 
being wood for building purposes, which is dutiable per 1,000 square feet. 
The rates range all the way from very low revenue duties to high protect- 
ive duties. Export duties are levied on caoutchouc, mahogany, cedar, 
and cabinet woods, and sarsaparilla. 

HONDURAS, BRITISH. 

[Area, 7,562 square miles; population in 1901, 37,479.] 

The total commerce of British Honduras in 1903, the latest year for 
•which statistics are available, was $3,626,000, of which $1,773,000 was 
imports and $1,853,000 exports. Of the imports 52.9 per cent was 
drawn from the United States, and of the exports 60.3 per cent was sent 
to the United States. The official fibres of the United States with ref- 
erence to its trade with British Honduras show that the imports from 
that country have grown from $186,831 in 1890 to $198,040 in 1900 and 
$539,053 in 1905, and the exports thereto from $354,468 in 1890 to 
$615,522 in 1900 and $1,052,307 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures 
in all cases. 

NICARAGUA. 

[.\rea, 49,200 square miles; population, about .500,000.] 

The total commerce of Nicaragua in 1904, the latest year for which 
statistics are available, was $7,128,000, of which $3,202,000 was im- 
ports and $3,926,000 exports. Of the imports 52.1 per cent was drawn 
Trom the United States, and of the exports 53.2 per cent was sent to 
the United States. The official figures of the United States with refer- 
ence to its trade with Nicaragua show that the imports therefrom have 
decreased from $1,655,690 in 1890 to 1,520,266 in 1900 and $1,513,877 
in 1905, and the exports thereto increased from $1,373,019 in 1890 to 
$1,817,869 in 1900 and $1,944,.556 in 1905. 

COMMERCE. 

The imports of Nicaragua amount to about 3^ million dollars per 
annum and the exports to about 4 million dollars. Beginning with 
1900, the United States took by far the largest share of the trade, con- 
stituting in 1904 almost exactly one-half of the total, both in imports 
and in exports. The United States was surpassed until the end of 1898 
by the United Kingdom in imports and exports, and by Germany also in 
exports. 

In imports into Nicaragua, the preponderance of the United States is 
even more decided than in exports. According to a report of the British 
foreign office, all the flour, kerosene, building lumber, dynamite, leaf 
tobacco, windmills, and imitation jewelry come from the United States, 
which also occupies first place in supplying provisions, agricultural 
machinery, hardware, drugs, rice, manufactures of silk, hempen rope, 
tramway rails, leather, tallow, beer, barbed wire, spirits, paints, sewing 
machines, candles, manufactured tobacco, umbrellas, and salt. 

The United Kingdom leads in manufactures of cotton and wool, soap, 
jute bags, and lubricating oil ; Germany in paper, hats, matches, ready- 
made clothing, manufactures of glass, Portland cement, earthenware, 
Prussian blue, and pianos, while France ranks first in wines and per- 
fumery. The United Kingdom appears first in the importation of fire- 
arms, but in these returns do not appear the value of the arms intro- 
duced by the Government of Nicaragua for military purposes, nearly all 
of which came from the United States. No returns are obtainable of 
the value of gunpowder, percussion caps, shot, and cartridges imported. 
The sale of these articles is a Government monopoly, and they do not 
pass through the custom-house, but all, or nearly all of them, were 
received from the United States. 

A noticeable item is the almost complete monopoly held by the United 
States in the sale of boots and shoes. Until recently these goods were 
imported from Austria-Hungary, a few coming from the United King- 
dom, France, and Germany. Most of the better class of boots and 
shoes are now imported into Nicaragua from New Orleans, while coarser 
boots for workmen are received from Boston. 



Beer comes from the United States and Gerniany, and the greater 
part of the ordinary soap is from the United Kingdom, but imports of 
the latter article have of late years been much reduced, owing to the 
establishment of several native soap factories that turn out a fairly 
good article, and as the materials are admitted duty free the product is 
able to compete successfully in prices with foreign .soap. All the tallow 
and most of the materials used in soap making come from the United 
States. 

The leather imports, which amount in value to about $30,000 per 
annum, are nearly equally divided between the United States and 
Germany. 

TARIFF. 

The tariff of Nicaragua contains over 1,600 schedules providing spe- 
cific rates of duty on imports. The duties are in several cases quite 
high, although a large number of products required in the industries are 
admitted free, such as lumber, charcoal, wood pulp for paper making, 
railway appliances, iron and steel products, etc. Goods not mentioned 
and not resembling any articles mentioned in the tariff are subject to a 
duty of "150 per cent of their value, according to the consular invoice." 
The law further provides that if such goods "consist of raw materials 
similar to those of national production they shall be chargeable with 
duty at the rate of 200 per cent of the amount of the invoice." Should 
unenumerated articles consist of materials for arts or trade or for agricul- 
tural or industrial purposes and not be serviceable for ordinary use, but 
for especial and exclusive service, "they shall be assessed with a duty of 
100 per cent of the amount of the invoice." 

PANAMA. 

[Area, 31,570 square miles; population, estimated at 340,000.] 

The total commerce of Panama in 1904, the latest year for which 
statistics are available, was $1,845,000, of which $759,000 was imports 
and $1,086,000 exports. Of the imports 68.8 per cent was drawn from 
the United States, and of the exports 96.6 per cent was sent to the 
United States. The official figures of the United States with reference 
to its trade with Panama show that the imports therefrom have grown 
from $440,747 in 1904 to $813,154 in 1905, and the exports thereto 
from $979,724 in 1904 to $4,745,562 in 1905. 

The bulk of the population of Panama is concentrated on the Pacific 
slope of the Cordillera, west of Panama City, and, with the exception of 
the towns of Panama and Colon (20,000 and 3,000 inhabitants, respec- 
tively), all the more important towns are in the interior, evidently for 
hygienic reasons. The eastern part of the Republic, comprising most of 
the Province of Panama, which stretches from the Canal Zone to the 
Colombia boundary, is mostly a wilderness, the only settlements being 
those along Tuira River, in the southeastern corner. 

The soil is of great fertility and the climate induces luxuriant 
growiihs of tropical vegetation; of the whole area about one-half is unoc- 
cupied, and of the remainder only a small part is properly cultivated. 
Bananas are the most important crop, the industry being concentrated 
in the province of Boca del Toro, in the northwest comer, which depends 
almost entirely on this crop. Coffee is grown in all the inhabited dis- 
tricts, the best results being obtained in Chiriqui Province, near the 
Costa Rican frontier (500,000 trees), and in the Code Province (50,000 
trees). Cacao grows in many parts, but best in Code Province (south- 
west of the Canal Zone). Tobacco of good quality is produced, but not 
in sufficient quantity to supply the home demand. Sugar cane is raised 
in Chiriqui, Los Santos, Code, and Veraguas Provinces. Corn, rice, and 
other cereals are grown, but not enough to supply the home demand. 
Rubber is collected in the mountains and near the coast. Cotton, indigo, 
vanilla, cocoanuts, cloves and other spices, tropical fruits and vegeta- 
bles, pahns, ivory nuts, sarsaparilla, and ipecacuanha grow wild and in 
cultivation. 

MANUFACTURES. 

Except a few small soap, match, chocolate, ice, and aerated water fac- 
tories, Panama can not be said to have any manufactures. A carbon- 
ating plant has been established at the Paraiso Springs, in the Canal

fact, that reputat ion, which ^rivw out of conditions in the two cities of Pun- 
ania and Colon. 1ms been unjustly extended to the whole country. The 
larger part of the Republic is mountainous, and therefore not subject to 
the miasmius which create the fevers in the lowlands. The tract to be 
colonized is in the southeastern part of the Republic, which at present is 
almost uninhabited. It is very well watered, an excellent grazing coun- 
tr>-, and rich in minerals. Each foreigner who will undertake to estab- 
lish cultivation of any kind or to raise live stock there will receive 247 
acres of land and an advance, not to exceed SI ,000 in gold, for trans- 
portation of himself and family and for seeds, implements, etc., repay- 
ments to Ix' made, without interest, in live annual installments. 

TRANSPORTATION . 

Tlie Panama Railroad, completed on January28, 1855, is the most im- 
portant means of transportation on the Isthmus. It is a singlMrack 5- 
fot)t gauge road, -17J miles in length, connecting the cities of Colon and 
Panama. It handles the local trade, but its importance lies chiefly in 
the transit trade between the Atlantic and Pacific. In 1903 this transit 
trade amounted to 281,778 tons, or 80 per cent of a total freight tonnage 
of 349 .538 tons: during the same year 77,865 passengers were carried. 
In 190-1 the total traffic was 415,000 tons, of which 3(50,570 tons, or 81.46 
per cent, was transit; 114,0(X) passengers were carried. Of the total 
tonnage. 50.71 per cent was west Ijound and 43.29 per cent east hound in 
1904. The road is controlled by the United States Government, which 
owns over 97 per cent of the stock. Two wagon roads lead out of Pan- 
ama — one, the Royal road, extends northwest a distance of 17 miles to 
Cruccs: the other, an old and little u.sed road, reaches across the Isthmus 
to Porto Bello, almost due north of Panama. There arc no other high- 
ways in the country, except cnide roads and trails along the railway and 
in the vicinity of the larger towns; but an extensive network of new 
roads has been planned and in part begun. 

Tlie chief ports and trade centers on the Lsthmus are Colon, Boca del 
Tore, and Panama, in the Republic of Panama; and Cristobal and Ancon, 
in the Canal Zone. Other ports are on the Atlantic side, Porto Bello 
and Chagres: on the Pacific side, Aguadulce, San Miguel (Pearl Lslands), 
Taboga (island of Taboga, off Panama city), and Flamenco (Canal Zone). 
Steam.ship lines making regular calls at Colon include three British (Royal 
Mail Steam Packet Company, Ley land Line, llarrisoii Line), one German 
(Hamburg-American), one French (Compagnic (i(5n(iralo Transatlan- 
tique), one Italian (La VeliK-e, for Genoa and Trieste), one Spanish (La 
CompaAia Transatlantica de Barcelona), and one American (Panama 
Railroad Steamship Company). The American line has a weekly serv- 
ice Ix'tween Colon and New York. The United Fruit Company has also 
vessels plying between New Orleans and Mobile and Cobn and Boca del 
Toro. Camors, McConnell & Co., make connection between Mobile and 
Boca del Toro about eight times a month ; the DiGiorgio Steamship Com- 
pany, Mobile to B(K'a del Toro, twice a month. On the Pacific side, the 
steamers of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, of Liverpool, and of 
the Oiilcan Steamship Company, of Valparaiso, maintain weekly commu- 
nication U'tween Panatna and the principal ports of South and Central 
America; the Pacific Mail .Steamship Company maintains a weekly serv- 
ice between Panama and San Franci.sco, calling at the principal Central 
American ports: and the Gennan Kosmos Line C4ills about once a month, 
estublishing communication with the principal ports of the west coast of 
North and South America. 

CX>MMEBCE. 

Statistics on the coinmcrc« of Panama are diflicult to obtain, as they 
were merged with those of Colombia previous to November, 1903, and 
tlie machinery of the new Govenimeiit was not fully organized for some 



time after its establishment. A large part of the records of the port of 
Panama, moreover, wer<' destroyed by fire in June, UXH. The only stat is- 
tics availal)le of the total foreign trade are those of imports into Colon for 
the fiscal years 1903 and HXll.and imports into and exports from lioca 
del Toro for the fiscal year 1904, which are given Ik-Iow. Tlie trade of the 
I'nited .States with Panama is showTi elsewhere in this report. 

During the second half of 1903 the total imports into the Republic 
were §835,043, of which the United States contributed more than one- 
third, the United Kingdom a little less than one-third, and Germany one- 
sixth. In the second half of 1903 the following articles came almost 
exclusively from the United States: Carts, trucks, cement. Hour, wheat, 
hams, rubber manufactures, lard, canned goods, cars, petroleum, phono- 
graphs, resins, tuipentine, and typewriters. 

The United States tables for imports from and exports to Panama for 
the fiscal }ears ending June 30, 1904 and 1905, show that the imports 
from Panama almost doubled in 1905, while the exports to Panama 
nearly quintupled. This increase in exports in one year is, of course, 
largely due to the demand for material for the initial labors on the canal. 

The largest item in the imports into the United States from Panama is 
bananas, valued at 8263,000 in H»4 and S415.000 in 1905, constituting 
in both years more than one-half of the total. By far the larger share is 
i exported through Boca del Toro and the remainder through Colon. 
The next largest item is india rubber (877,700 and Sl.54,000), the im- 
ports of which into the United States have exactly doubled from 1903 
to 1904. Imports of hides and skins, the next largest item ($37,000 
and •S92,(X)0), have mofe than doubled. Imports of cabinet woods 
have risen from $27,000 to S8S,000. This trade admits of vast exten- 
sion, as the resources of Panama in that respect have hitherto remainetf 
almost undeveloped, owing to the difficulty of transportation. 

Among the exports from the United States to Panama all articles 
show a great increase from 1903 to 1904, and in most cases the increase 
is two or three fold. The greatest increase is shown in exports of iron 
and manufactures thereof, which rose from $105,323 to 81,104,567. In 
machinery, the increase was from §26,312 to $379,296. The great 
increase in exports of wood, from 862,886 to 8583,258. is explained by 
the demand for luml>er in the erection of dwellings, wharves, and for 
framework. The increase in exports of vehicles, from 87,675 to -8153,317, 
testifies to the increased activity in railway and other transportation. 
The increased exports of foodstuffs (wheat flour, $67,650 to $252,613; 
bacon and hams, $8,584 to 834,128: lard, 839,321 to $164,432), manu- 
factures of cotton ($107,605 to $421,395), boots and shoes ($39,436 to 
$117,274), and medicines ($16,107 to $31,924) bear evidence to the 
increase of population and to the increased purchasing power due to 
the large disbursements of American money. 



The tarilT of Panama provides for a general duty of 10 per cent on 
the invoice value of imports. Some articles, such as liquors, neat 
cattle, salt, tobacco, matches, etc., are subject to special rates. Accord- 
ing to the agreement between the United States and Panama, wares 
and merchandi.se imported for use in the con-struction of the canal or 
j maintenance of the Panama Railroad or for sale in the Government 
commissary to the employees of the Government mp,y enter the zone 
bj- the ports of the Republic of Panama free of duty. Goods intended 
for sale or general consumption are not admitted through the ports of 
the zone and are required to pass through the ports of the Republic of 
Panama and are subject to the general customs duties. In addition 
to the duty proper, there are also a number of additional taxes and 

consular fees.

' SALVADOR. 

(Area, 7,225 square miles; population in 1901, 1,006.848.] 

t The total commerce of Salvador in 1904, the latest year for which 
I statistics are available, was $10,245,000, of which $3,610,000 was 
imports and $6,635,000 exports. Of the imports 27.7 per cent was 
drawTi from the United States, and of the exports 17.9 per cent was 
sent to the United States. Tlie oflicial figures of the United States 
with reference to its trade with Salvador show that the imports there-

from have decreased from $1,453,958 in 1890 to $738,674 in 1900 and 
$1,113,169 in 1905, and the exports thereto from 1899,546 in 1890 to 
S679,440 in 1900 and $1,318,426 in 1905.

Five countries (the United States, German}-, France, the United King- 
dom, and Italy) absorb more than nine-tenths of the exports of Salva- 
dor. Of these, Germany has been gaining most rapidh^ the exports 
from Salvador to that country having nearly doubled in the four years, 
while the exports to the United States and Italy remained practically 
stationary, and those to France and the United Kingdom increased by 
about one-third. However, France still maintains a decided prepon- 
derance, the exports from Salvador to that country being twice those 
to Germany. 

The most important item of export, coffee, was distributed as fol- 
lows among the principal countries in 1901, 1902, and 1903:

tariff. 

The duties are practically all specific. In addition to the import duties 
proper, there arc a numlx-r of taxes, custom-house charges for ware- 
housing, and other fees, which, in some cases, greatly exceed the 
duties proper. Agricultural machinery, scientific instruments not speci- 
fied in the tariff, barbed wire for fences, plows, and surgical instruments 
are among the articles admitted free of duty. 

CHILE. 

[Area, 307,620 square miles; population in 1895, 2,712,145.] 

The total commerce of Chile in 1904, the latest year for which statistics 
are available, was $1.36,200,000, of which .$.57,361,000 was imports and 
878,839,0fX) exports. Of the imports 8.9 per cent was drawn from the 
United States, and of the exports 14.2 per cent was sent to the United 
States. The ofTicial figures of the United States with reference to its 
trade with Chile show that the imports from that country have grown 
from S3,1H3,249 in 1890 to .?7,1 12,8-26 in HKX) and -Sll, 071,613 in 1905; 
and the exix.rts thereto from $.3,226,:i64 in 1.S90 to $:5.2.87,.565 in 1900 
and $.5,391,3.57 in 190.5, these Ix-ing fiscal year figures in all cases. 

The coast region of Chile rises steeply from the sea toward the Coast 
Cordillera, a diversified table-land not above 3,.300 feet at its highest 
altitude. The Andes run along the eastern frontier and inclose with the 
Coast Cordillera the central valley or llano. At the south the coast is 



broken up into numerous archipelagos, islets, and peninsulas. This is a 
densely wocnled region, with a very hejivy rainfall and a sparse popula- 
tion. The northern region bordering on Peru is a desert country, thinly 
inhabited, but valuable as the source of the great saltpeter industrj'. 
Agriculture is thus confined to the central valley, where the largest 
estates are situated. A large part of the favorably situated agricultural 
land is in the possession of the ruling families and the Catholic Church, 
whose influence in Chile i^ greater than in any other of the South Ameri- 
can States. It is estimated that about one-half of the population is 
engaged in agriculture, but is largely employed on the great estates. 

The value of the crops of the year 1903-4 was estinuited at over 
$22,000,000. Cattle raising is of minor importance. At the end of 1903 
the live stock of the country consisted of 182,821 horses, .32,443 mules, 
829,953 oxen, 1,3.35,.332 sheep, 135,441 pigs, and 165,280 goats. 

The minerals of Chile, and especially the nitrate deposits, play at 
present the chief part in the economic development of the country. 
Since the acquisition of the Provinces of Tarapaca and Antofagasta from 
Peru and Bolivia, respectively, in 1884, the exploitation of the nitrate 
deposits has been the dominating factor in the industrial life of the 
country, alfecting agriculture and the mineral industries, and providing 
a very large part of the country's revenue. The nitrate is found chiefly 
in Tarapaca and Antofagasta, of which the former is believed to con- 
tain about 90 per cent of the total. The deposits of Tarapaca were 
worked as earh' as 1830, but while the Province was under the dominion 
of Peru the industry was carried on on a comparatively .small scale. It 
is only since the acquisition of the nitrate territories by Chile, when 
nitrate became an important factor in agriculture as well as in the chem- 
ical industry, that the industry has become an object of interest to the 
chief agricultural and industrial nations of the world. It is controlled 
to a large extent by English capital, but the German share is also 
important, German firms having contributed about one-fifth of the total 
exports of nitrate and subsidiary products in 1904-5. 

The development of the nitrate industry may be seen from the follow- 
ing table:

transportation . 

« 

In railwaj' transportation Chile is one of the most advanced countries 
in South America. The construction of railways has been facilitated by 
the configuration of the coast region, and accelerated by the existence 
of the nitrate deposits, which could not be worked without railway facili- 
ties. At the end of 1903 the railways of Chile had a total length of 2,800 
miles, of which the Government owned 1,320 miles. The private lines 
are largely in the north, and are controlled by the Nitrate Railway Com- 
pany. Of the longitudinal railway line which is to connect Tacna with 
Puerto Montt at the entrance of the Chiloe Archipelago 1,020 miles are 
in operation, and the remaining 1,0.58 miles, mostly in the northern sec- 
tion, have been partly surveyed. The short link in the Transandine 
line, which is to connect Buenos Aires with Valparaiso, is now under con- 
struction, and its completion is expected in 1907. The cost of the State 
lines to the end of 1900 was 86,463,437 pesos ($31 ,559,155). Besides the 
railways, Chile has more than "20,000 miles of roads and 700 miles of navi- 
gable waterways. The telegraph lines, which belong lai-gely to the State, 
had a total length of more than 11.000 miles at the end of 1903. 



COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1905.

COMMERCE. 

The exports from Chile are considerably larger than the imports, and 
show a higher increase during the last decade than the imports, which 
have increased only slightly. The increase in the exports occurs largely 
in nitrates, which have increased from 35 million dollars in value in 1895 
to 58.5 millions in 1904. The total exports in 1895 were 54 million 
dollars and in 1904, 79 millions. Nitrate forms about 75 per cent of the 
exports. 

The exports for 1904. were classified as follows: Animal products, 
$2,699,000; vegetable products, $6,898,000; mineral products 
$69,195,000. The chief animal products were hides and skins, leather, 
wool, and wax. The most important vegetable products were barley 
and other cereals, dried fruits, flour, wheat, and various seeds. The 
chief mineral products included, besides nitrates, copper, iodine, gold, 
and silver. 

The total imports for the same year, which amounted to $57,361,000, 
were classified as follows: Animal products, $4,299,000; vegetable prod- 
ucts, $6,808,000; mineral products, $9,788,000 ; textiles, and articles of, 
$16,342,000; oils, fuel, and paints, $8,138,000; paper, cardboard, and 
manufactures of, $1,752,000; beverages and liqueurs, $596,000; perfum- 
er}', drugs, and chemicals, $1,136,000; machines, instruments, and appa- 
ratus, $7,646,000, and arms, ammunition, and explosives, $509,000. 
The chief items in the group of animal products were live animals, fish, 
and leather. The chief vegetable products were coffee, yerba mate, tea, 
sugar, wood and manufactures of, and edible oils. The chief mineral 
products were iron and steel, wire, nails, etc., supplies for railways, tele- 
graphs, etc., lime and cement, glassware, and earthenware. The chief 
textiles were cotton cloth, cotton yarn, cotton underwear, woolen goods, 
and silk. Among the chief items in the group of oils, fuel, and paints 
are coal, petroleum and its products, and prepared colors. Agricul- 
tural and mining machinery, machinery for electric and gas light, and 
railway cars are the chief articles in the group of machinery, instru- 
ments, etc. 

The statistics of commerce by countries, as given in the Chilean ofB- 
cial publications, differ considerably from those given by the various 
countries dealing with Chile. The exports from Chile to the United 
Kingdom in 1902 amounted, according to Chilean ofBcial statistics, to 
40,781,000 pesos, or $14,885,065, while the value of the imports into the 
United Kingdom from Chile for the same year, as given by British ofBcial 
statistics, was £4,524,376, or $22,017,830. Similar disparities exist yfiih 
reference to the figures for the trade of Chile with the United States. In 
lg04,the latest year for which ofBcial data are available, the total im- 
ports amounted to $57,361,000, of which imports from Great Britain 
amounted to $20,931,000; from Germany, $15,497,000; from the United 
States, $5,109,000; from Peru, $2,412,000; from France, $3,989,000; 
from Argentina, $2,179,000; from Italy, $1,729,000; from Australia, 
$1,411,000; and Belgium, $1,220,000. In that year Great Britain sup- 
plied Chile with more than 45 per cent of the total imports of textiles, 
nearly 40 per cent of the mineral products (largely manufactures of 
iron and steel), about 60 per cent of the mineral oils, fuel, etc. (chiefly 
coal), and more than 40 per cent of the machinery, etc. Germany sup- 
plied about the same proportion of the mineral products, about 30 per 
cent of the textiles and textile goods, over 50 per cent of the paper and 
paper manufactures, and about 34 per cent of the machinery, instru- 
ments, etc. The United States contributed about 13 per cent of the 
vegetable products, about 12 per cent of the mineral oils, fuel, etc., less 
than 3 per cent of the textiles and manufactures thereof, over 18 per 
cent of the paper and its manufactures, and over 7 per cent of the ani- 
mal products. Argentina supplied over 50 per cent of the animal prod- 
ucts, and Peru about 32 per cent of the vegetable products (chiefly 
sugar). The share of France in the imports of textiles was about three 
and one-half times as large as that of the United States, which was less 
than two-thirds of the share of Italy. 

The chief imports into the United Kingdom from Chile during 1904 
were nitrates, copper, wool, and wheat. Tin to the amount of nearly 
$4,000,000 is credited to Chile, but this is evidently Bolivian tin exported 



through Chilean ports, as Chile produces only small quantities of that 
mineral. The chief imports into Germany from Chile during the same 
year were nitrates, iodine, and leather, the imports of nitrates constitut- 
ing nearly 90 per cent of the total. In the imports to the United States 
from Chile during the fiscal year 1905 nitrate figures to the extent of 85 
per cent, the remainder being made up chiefly of copper, hides and skins, 
and wool. 

TARIFF. 

The import tariff of Chile divides all imports into six classes, subject 
to ad valorem rates of 60, 35, 15, 5, and 25 per cent, respectively, and 
duty free. The 60 per cent class includes articles of fur, paper, cereals, 
boots and shoes, carriages and wagons, meats, articles of personal wear, 
fruits, biscuits, household goods, dairy products, etc. Goods subject to 
35 per cent include various kinds of cloth, leather goods, ammunition, 
paintings, mirrors, woolen blankets, gloves, toys, books, twine, .sheet 
iron, and other products. The 15 per cent class includes steam boilers, 
iron and steel chains, dynamite and other explosives, hemp and jute 
tissues, iron and steel bridges, domestic utensils, and structural iron and 
steel. The 5 per cent class includes many kinds of chemicals, railway 
switches, lead, copper, bronze, iron and steel pipes, various fibers, appli- 
ances for machines, wines and liquors, sugar, coffee, cigars, tobacco, etc. 
The duty-free list comprises metal wire, raw cotton, live animals, agri- 
cultural machinery, fire engines, iron and steel in various shapes, ma- 
chinery of various kinds, iron and steel plants for railways, harrows and 
rakes, etc. All articles not mentioned in the tariff under the above 
classes are subject to a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem. A few specific 
rates are provided for animals. The Chilean tariff, like that of several 
other South American countries, contains a valuation tariff setting down 
the value for almost every article mentioned in the 2,260 schedules, 
making the rates virtually specific. 

COLOMBIA. 

[Area, 465,714 square miles; population estimated at 4,000,000.] 

The latest ofBcial figures of the foreign commerce of Colombia relate to 
the calendar year 1898, when they amounted to $29,570,000, of which 
$11,083,000 was imports and $18,487,000 exports. Of the imports 26.4 
per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 26 per 
cent was sent to the United States. The ofBcial figures of the United 
States with reference to its trade with Colombia show that the imports 
from that country have grown from $3,575,253 in 1890 to $4,307,814 in 
1900 and $6,411,793 in 1905, and the exports thereto from $2,585,828 
in 1890 to $2,710,688 in 1900 and $3,582,789 in 1905, these being fiscal- 
year figures in all cases. 

AREA, POPULATION, AND RESOURCES. 

The Republic of Colombia, in the northwestern part of the South Amer- 
ican continent, is bounded by the Caribbean Sea and the Republic of 
Panama on the north, by Venezuela and Brazil on the east, by Peru and 
Ecuador on the south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west. The area 
is estimated officially at 465,714 square miles. No reliable statistics of 
the present population are obtainable, the last census having been taken 
in 1871, when the population was given as 2,951,323. In 1898 the 
population was estimated at about 4,000,000, including about 150,000 
uncivilized Indians. The western part of the country is occupied largely 
by the Andean Cordilleras, which are divided into three main chains. 
The eastern part consists mainly of the vast plains or "llanos," sparsely 
inhabited and well adapted for cattle raising. The coasts are well in- 
dented and have a number of good harbors. The chief ports are Barran- 
quilla and Cartagena, both on the Caribbean Sea. 

The agricultural resources are abundant. The fertile valleys of the 
Cordilleras and the regions along the coast produce coffee, cacao, bananas, 
sugar, tobacco, and many other tropical fruits, but agriculture is in a 
very backward state, even in the most populous and civilized districts. 
The chief products exported are tobacco and coffee. Cattle raising is 
carried on to a considerable extent, but there is very little done toward 
improving the breed of the native cattle.

The sidt mines are worked by the Government. The richest mines are in 
the remote interior, and the lack of modern tran.spMjrtation facilities 
makes it impossible to carry on mining operations on-a lai-ge scale. 

TRANSPORTATION. 

In transportation facilities Colombia may be classed amonjj the most 
backward countries of South America. It has about -100 miles of rail- 
way, consisting of short, mostly narrow-guage, linos, running from the 
coast to the Magdalena River, which is navigable for about 900 miles 
and forms the chief water^\-ay of the country. The roads are mere mule 
tracks, and the mule is the chief means of transportation in the interior 
both for passengers and freight. 

COMMERCE. 

Owing to the disturbed state of the country during recent years no 
ofTicial figures relating to commerce have been published since 1898. 
According to foreign sources, the imjxtrts of Colombia for 1903 amounted 
to S14,4.")3.000 and the exports to ?12.0.5S,000. Of these amounts the 
share of the United States was S4.9.3G,000of the imports and $6,837 .000 
of the exports: of Great Britain, S3,70.5,000 of the imports and S2,736,000 
of the exports; of France, ?2,9-44,000 of the imports and S1,.5C1,000 of 
the exports, and of Germany §1,908.000 of the imports and Sl,249,000 
of the exports. In 190.5 the United States imported from Colombia to 
the value of $6,411,793 and exported to that country to the value of 
$3,.582,789. Colombia thus ranks fifth among the South American 
countries in point of commerce with the United States. The chief 
imports of the United States from Colombia in 190.T were as follows: 
Collee, S3,.517,664: hides and skins, $963,422: bananas, $.58.5,489; India 
rubber, .$3.53,630, and cocoanuts, $3.37,492. The exports from the 
United States to Colombia in 190.5 were made up largely as follows: 
Cotton cloth, .$817,02.5; wheat flour, $438,906; manufactures of iron and 
steel, $552,859; leather manufactures, $160,268: lard, $171,2.59, and 
mineral oils, $120,443. During the period 1901 to 1905 the imports into 
the United States from Colombia increased from $3,230.6.52 to $6,4 11, 793 
and the exports from the United States to Colombia from .$3,142,0.52 to 
S3,.582,789. The exports from Colombia to Great Britain arc made up 
mostly of coffee, hides, rubber, and siver ore. The British e.xports to 
Colombia consist chieflj' of cotton and woolen goods, iron manufactures, 
and sacks. 

TARIFF. 

The import tariff of Colombia divides the imports into 16 classes, 
with specific rates of duty ranging from 1 cent per kilo upward to 
$1..50, and in addition to this a surtax of 70 per cent. In order to 
further the industrial development of the country, a number of articles 
are exempted from the surtax, including leather, yarn, coloring matter 
for tissues, wool yam, threads, wool, cotton, and jute threads, etc. 
There are al.so numerous products on which a reduced surtax is levied. 
A-s an offset for this reduction, specially increased duties are charged 
on tobacco, alcoholic iH'verages, sugar, and salt. Rebates of from 25 
to .50 [M'r cent on the regular duties arc allowed on imports into certain 
ports of the Republic.

CO.^LMERCE. 

The total commerce of Cid)a in 1905 (calendar year) was $204,974,000, 
of which $94,>S(?7,()()f) was impM-ts and $1 l().ir>7.(KX) exports. Of the 
imports 45.3 per cent was drawn from the Inited States, and of the 



exports 86.5 pii (cnt was sent to the United States. The official 
figures of the United States with reference to its trade with Cuba show 
that the imports fmm that country fell from $53,801,591 in 1890 to 
$31, .37 1,704 in 1900, and increased to $86,304,259 in 1905, and the 
exports thereto have grown from $13,084,415 in 1890 to $26,513,400 in 
19CK) and §;jS,;iS0,601 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

The steady growth of the commerce of Cuba since the termination of 
war shows clearly the revival in the economic life of the country. The 
imports, which amounted to .$76,751,800 during the calendar year 1894, 
have increased to .$94,806,700 in the calendar year 1905. The share of 
the United States in the import trade of Cuba has increased from 38.7 
per cent in 1894 to 45.3 percent in 1905. The exports from Cuba show 
a somewhat smaller increase, being .$99,4.56,000 in 1894 and $110,167,500 
in 1905. The share of the United States in the export trade of Cuba 
for the two years named was 85.5 and 86.5 per cent, respectively. The 
share of Great Britain in the commerce of Cuba during the calendar year 
1905 was 14.2 per cent of the imports and 5.2 per cent of the exports. 

An analysis of the commerce of Cuba for the calendar year 1904 (the 
latest for which detailed statistics arc available) brings out the follow- 
ing facts: Of the total imports of manufactures of cotton, $8,114,600, 
Great Britain contributed 54 per cent, Spain 18.7 per cent, and the 
United States 10.4 per cent; thus, while the share of the United States 
shows an increase from 7.2 per cent in 1903 to 10.4 per cent in 1904, it 
is still less than one-fifth of that of Great Britain. Of the imports of 
manufactures of iron and steel (not including machinery), $3,474,600, 
the share of the United States was 48.1 per cent, that of Great Britain 
28.4 per cent, and that of Germany 12 per cent. In 1903 the United 
States contributed 43.3 per cent of the imports of iron and steel manu- 
factures and in 1901 69.4 per cent. Of imports of machinery not else- 
where specified, $2,710,800, the share of the United States was 76.1 per 
cent and that of Great Britain 10.1 per cent. While the absolute 
value of the imports of machinerj' not elsewhere specified from the 
United States shows an increase from $1,435,500 in 1900 to $2,074,000 
in 1904, the relative importance of the above-named imports from the 
United States has fallen off from 93.2 to 76.1 per cent for the same years. 
During the same period the imports of machinerj- not elsewhere speci- 
fied from Great Britain has increased from 2 to 10.1 per cent, not- 
withstanding the 20 per cent dificrential in import duty in favor of 
imports from the United States. Of the total imports of machinery for 
sugar mills and distilleries, $1,103,200, the United States is credited 
with 73.2 per cent and Great Britain with 8.9 per cent, as compared 
with 91.6 and 2.8 per cent, respectively, in 1900. Of the imjwrts of 
boots and shoes, $2,985,600, the United States contributed 40.3 agaffist 
19.1 per cent in 1900 and Spain 58.6 against 79.8 per cent in 1900. The 
share of the United States in the foodstuffs imported into Cuba during 
the calendar year 1904 was 99.9 per cent of the flour, 99.7 per cent of 
the lard, 95.5 per cent of the corn, 90.3 per cent of the meat not else- 
where specified, and 50.5 per cent of the dairj- products. Spain con- 
tributed during the same j-ear 96.6 per cent of the wine and 95.2 per 
cent of the olive oil. 

Of the exports of Cuba tlie United States takes bj- far the largest 
share. Of the total exports of raw sugar during the calendar year 1904, 
$54,258,508, the United States took $54,254,917; of the total exports 
of leaf tobacco, $11,287,271, the United States took $9,534,575; and of 
the total exports of cigars, $13,046,271, the United States took $3,777,- 
449, Great Britain $5,365,568, Germany $1,675..509, and France 
$.5;il,l()7. Practically the entire exports of fruit and over 50 per cent 
of the export of cocoa also went to the United States. Thus it is seen 
that the whole of the chief product of Cuba, sugar, and a consideral)U' 
part of its products next in importance are exported to the I'liited 
States. During the calendar year 1905 the United States imported 
from Cuba sugar to the value of $72,649,818, or 70 per cent of the sugar 
brought into the United States from foreign countries, leaf tobacco to 
the amount of $11,879,938, and cigars to the amount of $.3,8.55.820.

year 1905 is given on the following page.

transportation . 

The total length of the railway lines of Cuba open for general traffic 
at the end of the fiscal year 1904 was 1,589.2 miles, as compared with 
1,160.7 miles at the end of the fiscal year 1902. The most important 
and largest fine is the one belonging to the Cuba Company, having a 
total length of 344.2 miles. The trunk line of the system under the con- 
trol of the Cuba Company runs from Habana to Santiago, thereby con- 
necting the eastern end of the island \vith the economic center. The 
Cuba Company, an American concern under the direction of Sir WilUam 
Van Home, has for its main object the development of the eastern part 
of the island, and has acquired large tracts of undeveloped land along 
the railway line. Next in length and importance is the United Rail- 
ways of Habana, owned by an English company, with a total length 
of over 250 miles. Its principal line runs from Regla, a town just across 
from Habana, to Jovellanos, an inland town in the Province of Matanzas, 
88 miles from Habana. It also operates a number of short hnes 
around Habana. Besides the public railway hnes there are short pri- 
vate hnes used for the transportation of freight fi-om the plantations 
and miUs to .the stations along the pubUc railways. A bill was 
promulgated September 5, 1905, providing for the subvention of the 
Cuba Railroad Company by the Cuban Government by the advance of 
a credit of .$798,450, which is to be repaid in installments by the com- 
pany witliin ten years. 

SUGAR. 

The sugar of Cuba is entirely the product of the sugar-cane plant, and 
is of a uniformlj^ superior quality. The cane is not indigenous to Cuba, 
but was introduced soon after the discovery of the island. The indus- 
try has received its main development since about 1830, after which 
year the annual production of sugar in the island has grown from 
about 100,000 to about 1,000,000 tons. Sugar is raised pretty gen- 
erally all over the island, especially in the four central Provinces — 
Habana, Matanzas, Santa Clara, and Puerto Principe. The plant flour- 
ishes luxuriantly as a rule, with comparatively little care or encourage- 
ment, and replanting becomes necessary only once every ten or fifteen 
years, so that the crop is raised easily and cheaply; but the preparation 
for market is expensive in comparison. 

The cost of raising a pound of sugar in Cuba has been estimated at 
about 1 cent, and the cost of manufacturing and transporting it to 
seaboard under present conditions 1 cent more, or about 2 cents a 
pound. The process of production involves purchase or lease of land, 
hire of laborers and their housing and sustenance, clearing away and 
breaking up of the fields, purchase of the original cane plants and their 
renewal from time to time, planting, cultivating, weeding, harvesting, 



procurement of agricultural tools, implements and machines for these 
undertakings, erection of buildings for storing and .sheltering the stalks, 
construction of roads or private railways for transporting the same 
from the fields or farms to the mills, vehicles, cars, animals or locomo- 
tives for use in transportation, building of mills and their equipment 
with the various kinds of necessary sugar machinery, repairs, salaries 
of mill operatives, loading and freight to seaboard, insurance, and 
interest on investment. In tlie old times the cost was much greater. 
The new era of improvement has only just begun; and it is the 
opinion of all the best informed observers that with the additional 
Improvements which may be certainly expected soon to follow the cost 
of production will be further reduced. Improved roads and transporta- 
tion facilities will probably also reduce the cost of transportation. 

Although nearly the whole island is well suited for the successful rais- 
ing of sugar cane of the best quality, one of the largest crops ever pro- 
duced on the island — that of 1894 — was raised on plantations covering 
about 2,000,000 acres, or only about one-fourteenth of the total acre- 
age of Cuba. Owing to the devastation wrought during the recent 
revolution many plantations were abandoned or greatly crippled, and 
the recovery from these ravages is by no means yet complete, so that 
the present sugar acreage is somewhat less than the acreage of 1894. 
It is estimated that about 5,000,000 acres might quickly and easily be 
turned into first-class sugar plantations in addition to the plantations 
already existing and in operation. 

The total number of plantations and farms of all sorts in Cuba just 
prior to the late war was 90,960, but in 1899, just after the war, the 
number was only 60,711. Since 1899 the number has materially in- 
creased. 

Improvements that have been gradually introduced in the process of 
sugar production in Cuba include steam power in the field and in 
the mills, labor-saving machines of various kinds, improved furnaces, 
clarifiers, grinding machines, defiberators, defecators, vacuum pans, 
centrifugal separators, and other modern sugar machinery, cane car- 
riers and railway tracks through the fields for moving the crops to the 
mills, chemical laboratories, cane loaders and unloaders, electric-liglit 
plants in the mills, and a large variety of novel improvements, tools, fer- 
tilizers, and systems of cultivation. 

The best estimates unite in stating the total area of developed land, 
including cities, towns, villages, farms, plantations, and pasturages, at 
about 14,000,000 acres, or about one-half of the island. 

The relative importance of Cuba as a sugar-producing country may be 
seen from the following table :

The tobacco of Cuba has the reputation of being the best in the world. 
The very superior grade is produced only in Pinar del Rio, the most 
westerly Province, and in only one section of that Provmce. 

Tobacco of superior quality is gro\vn throughout Cuba, but Pinar del 
Rio contains nearly three-fourths of the total tobacco acreage of the island, 
and Habana Province nearly one-fourth. The plant is indigenous, and 
tobacco became an article of export as early as the sixteenth centurj^. 
Spain imposed very high taxes and tariffs upon it and derived from it 
much revenue. In 1894 the total product was 62,000,000 pounds. 
Since the war the amount raised has been somewhat less than this.

COFFEE. 

The soil and climate of Cuba are admirably suitable for the production 
of large crops of the best coffee. This fact is proved by historical rec- 
ords. While the Cubans have not during recent years raised coffee 
enough for their own consumption, it was for about thirty years in the first 
part of the nineteenth centurj- one of their leading industries, and the 
amount annually exported on an average was 1.5,000,000 pounds. 

Its decline was due to several causes, among which were the competi- 
tion of the East Indies and South .Vmerica, a succession of "bad years" 
for the crop, and the increasing attractiveness of sugar-cane culture, in 
view of the great demand for Cuban sugar fifty and seventy-five years 
ago. At that jjcriod Cuba had almost a monopoly of the sugar market, 
and a great many planters transformed their plantations from coffee to 
sugar producers in order to make more money. There were 1,600 coffee 
plantations in Cuba in 1846, but less than 200 in 1903. 



Under Spanish domination Cuba had an exceedingly high tariff, which 
was virtually prohibitive. At the same time Spanish products were 
admitted free of duty. In 1892 the Spanish Government granted con- 
siderable reductions of duty on imports from the United States in 
return for the free admission of Cuban sugar into the United States. 

.\fter the outbreak of the last revolution the Spanish Government 
found it necessary to revise the tariff. Tlie new tariff was proclaimed 
August 8, 1897, and went into effect ten days later. It reduced the 
duties to a very large extent, making the new rates in several cases less 
than half the old rates. It also abolished the old custom of admitting 
Spanish products free. It provided, however, for "differential duties," 
whicli were to be levied in addition to the regular rates, called "fiscal 
duties," upon imports from foreign countries. The United States no 
longer enjoyed the special reductions granted in 1892. 

I'pon taking pt)s.se.ssion of the island in IHUS, President McKinley, 
exercising his authority ils Commander in Chief of the .\nnv and Navy, 
proclaimed a new tariff for Cuba, which was practically a repetition of 
the Spanish tariff in force Ix-fore the wcupation of the island by the 
United States, with several rates, especially in the f<MKl products, con- 
siderably reduced. On March 31, HXW, President McKinley proclaimed 
a new tariff, in which further modifications were made, some of the 
duties on food products l»eing reduced, while others — as, for example, on 
live animals — were increased. 



On a.s.suming contn)l of the Republic in May, 1902, the Cuban Govern- 
ment decided to continue the tariff of 1900 in force, making only slight 
modifications in the customs treatment of imports from time to lime. 
In December, 1!X)3, the new reciprocity convention Ix'tween the United 
States and CHiba went into effect. By the terms of this agreement cer- 
tain reductions of duty were granted by the two nations to each other, 
amounting to 20 per cent on Cuban products entering the United 
States, and 20, 25, 30, and 40 per cent on various articles from the 
United States entering Cuba. In January, 1904, the Cuban Congress 
authorized the Government to increase certain rates by from 15 to 30 
per cent. These changes, which affect practically all of the products 
covered in the convention between the United States and Cuba, were 
promulgated by President Palma, of C\iba, on Febmary 1, 1904. The 
increases are at the rates of 15, 20, 25, and 30 per cent, but the differen- 
tial in favor of United States products is still retained, since prod- 
ucts of foreign countries have to pay still higher rates, equal to the dif- 
ference provided for in the treaty. Further details as to the Cuban 
tariff will be found in the " Customs Tariff of the Republic of Cuba," pub- 
lished by the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and 
Labor in May, 1905. 

[Commercial and industrial conditions in Cuba are discussed at greater 
length in a monograph entitled "Commercial Cuba," issued by the 
Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor in 1904, 
and maybe had on application to that Bureau.] 

ECUADOR. 

(Area, 116,000 square miles; population, estimated at 1,400,000.] 

The total commerce of Ecuador in 1904, the latest year for which com- 
plete statistics are available, was §18,795,000, of which $7,464,000 was 
imports and .Sll,331,000 exports. Of the imports 32 per cent was 
drawn from the United States, and of the exports 22.5 per cent was sent 
to the United States. The official figures of the United States with refer- 
ence to its trade with Ecuador show that the imports from that country 
have grown from $535,060 in 1890 to SI ,524,378 in 1900 and $2,502,175 
in 1905, and the exports thereto from $715,208 in 1890 to $1,216,008 in 
1900 and $1,750,378 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases.

The exports, it will be seen, are increasing at a much faster rate than 
the imports. The exports to France consist mainly of cacao, of which, 
however, by far the larger part is distributed among other countries. 
The imports from Great Britain are made up to a large extent of textiles 
and iron products. Tlie commerce with the United States, as shown on 
another page, has grown considerably during the period 1894 to 
1905. The imports into the United States from Ecuador have in the 
last twelve years increased over 200 per cent, from $816,484 to 
$2,.502,175. The exports from the United States to Ecuador in the 
same period show an increase of about 130 per cent, from $761,178 to 
$1,7.50,378. The imports into the United States from Ecuador during

1905 consisted of cacao, wliich formed about 40 per cent of the total; 
rubber, over 20 per cent; vegetable ivory and iiides and skins, about 
10 per cent each; straw hats, etc., about 9 per cent, and coll'ee, over 7 
per cent. Our imports of cacao from Ecuador have increased during 
the period 1894 to 1905 from $273,950 to $1,0.54,716. Tlie exports 
from the United States to Ecuador in 190.5 were chief! j^ made up as 
follows: Wheat flour and lard, about 16 per cent each; iron and steel 
manufactures, about 30 per cent, and manufactures of cotton, about 8 
per cent. Of the imports from Ecuador to the United States in 1905 
over SO per cent was admitted free of duty. 



The import tarilT of Ecuador provides for levying the following duties: 
(1) Import duties; (2) a surtax of 100 per cent; (3) warehouse tax and 
surtax of 100 per cent; (4) transit tax and surtax of 100 per cent; (5) 
wharfage charges; (6) consumption taxes on liquors; (7) special dues; (8) 
porterage dues (longshoremen's charges); (9) consular fees. 

The import duties are divided into 38 classes. The importation of 
commodities included in the firet class is entirely prohibited. Articles 
mentioned in the second class are admitted free of duty and include 
among other products certain chemicals, live animals, all kinds of instru- 
ments and apparatus, machines, agricultural machinery, almost every- 
thing used in construction work from bricks to iron and steel beams and 
doors, windows, staircases, etc,, iron and steel bridges, rails, etc. The 
goods mentioned in the classes 5 to 38 are subject to duties ranging from 
1 centavo to 60 sucres per kilo (from one-fourth cent to about $14 per 
pound). Practically all the rates are specific. 

GUIANAS (BRITISH, DUTCH, AND FRENCH). 

Tlie area of the three sections into which the Guianas are divided is 
estimated at about 167,000 square miles, and the population at about 
400,000. British Guiana covers more than half of the total area, and 
contains about three-fourths of the entire population. The commerce 
for 1904 was as follows:

a For 1903. 

Great Britain supplies about 50 per cent of the imports into British 
Guiana, and takes a somewhat smaller share of the exports from the 
colony. The United States supplies a little less than one-third of the 
imports, and takes over one-fourth of the exports. British North Amer- 
ica takes about the same proportion of the exports as the United States. 
The chief exports from British Guiana are sugar, sugar products, gold, 
woods, and diamonds. The imports into the United States from British 
Guiana in 1905 amounted to $1,512,541, consisting almost entirely of 
sugar. The exports from the United States to British Guiana in the 
same year amounted to $1,884,365, chiefly breadstuffs, provisions, and 
oils. 

Of the imports into Surinam, or Dutch Guiana, the Netherlands con- 
tribute over 50 per cent and the United States about 25 per cent. 
Over 40 per cent of the exports from that colony goes to the United 
States, whose share is larger than that of the mother countiy. The 
imports from Surinam into the United States consists largely of cacao 
and sugar; the chief exports from the United States are breadstuffs and 
provisions. 

France supplies over 50 per cent of the imports into French Guiana 
and takes nearly all the exports. The chief exports are cacao, phos- 
phates, woods, gold, rosewood essence, and hides. The exports from the 
United States to French Guiana amounted in 1905 to $198,576, chiefly 
breadstulTs and provisions. The imports from French Guiana into the 
United States consist almost entirely of phosphates. 



GUIANA, BRITISH. 

[.\rea, 90,.')00 square miles; population in 1891, 278,328.] 

The total commerce of British Guiana in 1904, the latest year for 
which statistics are available, was $17,172,000, of which $7,4&3,000 
was imports and -$9,689,000 exports. Of the imports 28.8 per cent 
was from the United States, and of the exports 27.5 per cent was 
sent to the United States. Tlie official figures of the United States 
with reference to its trade with British Guiana show that the imports 
from that country have decreased from .f4,.326,975 in 1890 to $3,795,3.58 
in 1900 and $l,.5i2,.541 in 1905, and the exports thereto from $2,I06,.345 
in 1890 to $1,915,192 in 1900 and $1,884,365 in 1905, these being 
fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

GUIANA, DUTCH. 
[.\rea, 46,060 square miles; population in 1902, 72.295.] 

The total commerce of Dutch Guiana in 1903, the latest j'car for 
which statistics are available, was .$4,261, (XX), of which .S2,.S35,000 was 
imports and $1,726,000 exports. Of the imports, 22.3 per cent was 
from the United States and of the exports 41 per cent was sent to the 
United States. The oflScial figures of the United States with reference 
to its trade with Dutch Guiana show that the imports from that coun- 
try increased from $.574,114 in 1890 to $1,2.30,412 in 1900 and fell off 
to $638,667 in 1905, and the exports thereto increased from $279,519 
in 1890 to $493,985 in 1900 and $.530,418 in 1905, these being fiscal- 
year figures in all cases. 

GUIANA, FRENCH. 

[Area, 3O,.5O0 square miles; population in 1901, .32,908.] 

The total commerce of French Guiana in 1903, the latest year for 
which statistics are available, was $4,400,000, of which .$2,020,000 was 
imports and .$2,380,000 exports. Of the imports, 10 per cent was drawn 
from the United States and of the exports 1.8 per cent was sent to 
the United States. The official figures of the United States with ref- 
erence to its trade with French Guiana show that the imports from 
that country were $17,647 in 1890, .$.37,.564 in 1900, and $37,141 in 
1905, and the exports thereto $160,933 in 1890, $189,910 in 1900, and 
$198,567 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

HAITI. 

[Area, 10,204 square miles; population estimated at 1,347,000.] 

Haiti has no official record of its foreign commerce. An estimate 
for 1900 based upon the known value of exports to and imports fi-om 
that island by the principal commercial countries of th'- world puts 
the total commerce of Haiti in that year at $6,175,000, of which 
about $4,900,000 was imports and about $1,275,000 exports. Of the 
imports practically three-fourths was drawn from the United States 
and of the exports an even larger proportion was sent to the United 
States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its 
trade with Haiti show that imports from Haiti have decreased from 
$2,421,221 in 1890 to $1,184,797 in 1900 and $1,101,6.50 in 1905, and 
exports thereto have also decreased from $5,335,068 in 1890 to 
$2,996,890 in 1900 and $2,297,080 in 1905, these being fiscal-year 
figures in all cases. 

commerce. 

The only reliable data on the trade of Haiti for recent years are 
compiled from foreign sources. In 1899-1900 the total imports were 
estimated by a German authority at $4,900,000, distributed among 
the principal nations as follows: United States, $3,700,000: France, 
$450,000; Great Britain and colonies, $425,000. and Germany, .$200,000. 
In 1901 the imports were estimated at $5,500,000. In 1902, owing to 
the revolution, they are said to have declined 30 per cent. The exports 
in 1901 were estimated at $1,275,000; in 1902 at $1,000,000. 

From October 1, 1903, to .June 30, 1904, 100,000,000 pounds of 
coffee were exported, being 30,000,000 pounds in excess of the exports 
of an}' previous year. In 1904, 3,017,015 pounds of cotton were ex- 
ported, against 3,260,271 pounds in 1903 and 2,000,000 pounds in 
1902. There were also exported in 1904 275,847 pounds of cotton 
seed, against 376,3(X) pounds in 1903. The quantity of cacao shipped

The tiniiiiil lipm-s of the United Stales of the trade between the 
United States and Haiti (si<e tables herewith i dilfer considernbly 
from the German estimate j;iven above. There was a sharp decline 
in imports from Haiti— from $2,747,000 in 189.5 to $827,000 in 1899, 
or to less than ont>-third. Since liWO the annual importation has 
averaged alnnit a million dollai-s. Lopvood, 8;i(Ki.(K)0, forms nearly 
one-third of the total: cofTee, S235.(XK), nearly one-fourth. Next fol- 
low ciK-oa. §182,000: sisal grass, .SIHI.OIX); hides and .skins, S127,000, 
and caliinet woods, S(J7,000. In imports of logwood and c«fTce there 
has been a marked decline since 1900. In cacao and hides and skins 
there has been, on the whole, a steady increase. Sisal gru.ss is prac- 
tically a new item, the imports previous to HX).") having been trifling. 
In cabinet woods the increase in imports has been almost uninter- 
nipled since IS(K). 

French imports from Haiti in 1904 were $4,300,000, against $6,180,000 
in 1!X)3. In 1904 they consisted practically of four articles: CofTee, 
$3,000,000: cacao. $;?20.000: woods, $732,000. and raw cotton, §200,000. 
In the British statistics of imports Haiti and the Dominican Republic 
are combined. They show for 1904 a total of $3.37,000 (a slight in- 
crease over previous years), consisting mainly of logwood, 8226,000, 
and raw cotton. .$9^.000. the trade in logwood having been practically 
stationarj- since 1900, while that in raw cotton was practically nothing 
in 1902. The German figures show a decline in imports from Haiti 
from §1,164.000 in 1900 to 8100,000 in 1904, evidently due to the 
tariff war beginning in 1901, which diverted the cacao, coffee, and 
other exports from Hambui-g to Havre. In 1900 German imports of 
coffee were $414,000, of cacao $.593,000. In 1904 both had dwindled 
to practically nothing, leaving cotton and hides as principal items. 
In logwood, too, the trade has been largely diverted from Germany 
to France. 

The United States exports to Haiti, as shown by a table on another 
page hate declined almost uninterruptedly since 189.5 — from $5,744,000 
in that year to $2,297 ,(XX) in 190.5. The most important item in 1905 
was cotton cloth, S.500,000, or almost one-fourth of the total. Exports 
of cotton cloth to Haiti have remained practically stationary for the 
decade. Wheat flour, .$.300,000, is the next lai-gcst item among the 
exports, showing a great decline as compared with .$.500,000 in 1904 
and 8818,000 in 189.5. A similar decline is shown in exports of pro- 
visions, the two principal items of which are pork, .$136,000, and lard, 
8182,000, in 190.5, against $973,0(X) and .$289,000 in 189.5. 

French exports to Haiti have declined from 81,249,000 in 1903 to 
$1,094,000 in 1904, made up mainly of fancy goods and notions, 8400,000 : 
cotton cloth, $200,000; tools and metal goods, 8100,000; wines, 
$13.5,000, and medicines, 8100,000. British exports to Haiti and the 
Dominican Republic in 1904 were 81.54.5,750, an increase over 1901, 
1902, and 1903, i)Ut a decline from 1!XX). In 1904 they consisted almost 
entirely of cotton cloth, $1,2.50,(XX), besides which there were $66,000 
for empty sacks and 8()2,fX)0 for metal goods. German exports to Haiti 
declined from S26:3,fXX) in 1900 to S176,0(X) in 1904, or by about one- 
third, which is a trifle compared to the decline in imports to Germany. 
The principal item in German exports in 1904 was earthen, stone, and 
china ware, $40,000, while in 1900 the principal item was rice, .8.56,000, 
which in 1904 dwindled to S8,.5(X). Next in importance in 1904 were 
cotton goods. S23,.5(X). a little more than half the figure of the preced- 
ing year: iron and manufactures thereof, 822.2.50, a decline of about 
one-third from 1!X)3: instruments, machines, and vehicles, 812,7.50, 
more than diuible the figure of 1903; matches, S7,(XX), more than three 
times the figure of 1900. Thus while Germany has been absorbing 
more and more of the carrj'ing trade of Haiti and while mo.st of the 
business of the Republic is carried on by German finns, the goods which 
form the subject of this trade have been derived to an increasing 
degree from other countries than Germany and the Haitian exports to 
Germany have become insignificant. 



The tariff of Haiti, containing over l.OOO schedules, provides specific 
import duties on a large numln-r of products. In addition to these 
specific duties, there are siu'taxesof .50 per cent, .33J |)er cent, and one 
of 25 per cent in gold. There are also surtaxes of 20 and 10 per cent, re- 
spectively, on the export duties, which are levied on Haitian products, 
.such as mahogau}', animals, different kinds of wood, coco.i and colfee, 
cotton, ginns, hides and skins, and raw sugar. In addition to the duties 
and .surtaxes mentioned, special ta.xes and dues, such as watch dues, 
pilot, sanitary inspect it)n, water, and naturalization dues, are levied on 
imports, which are specified separately for the several ports. 

MEXICO. 

[Area. 707,326 square miles; population in 1900. 13.611.694.1 

The total commerce of Mexico in 1905 was (including bullion and 
specie) $207.901 ,000, of which .$87,581 ,000 was imports and $120,320,000 
exports. Of theimports,57.9 percent was drawn from the United States, 
and of the exports 68.8 per cent was sent to the United States. The 
official figin-es of the United States with reference to its trade with Mexico 
show that the imports of merchandise only from that country have 
grown from $22,690,915 in 1890 to 828.646,0.53 in 1900 and $46,470,876 
in 1905, and the exports of merchandise thereto from $13,285,287 in 1890 
to 834,974,961 in 1900 and $45,756,116 in 1905, these being fiscal-year 
figures in all cases. 

M.\XrFACTURES. 

The Government statistics for 1902 enumerate 6.234 industrial estal> 
lislunents, employing 117,992 laborere, with a total production valued at 
about 870,000,000 United States gold. There are 2,082 .sugar mills, in 
which the juice of the cane is extracted by wooden cylinders and boiled 
down into a dark-brown substance called "panocha," in the form of 
small cakes called ''panelas" or '■piloncillos." More important are the 
cotton mills, engaged in the making of cotton cloth called "manta," a 
coarse unbleached fabric, sold almost exclusively in the local markets. 
In 1904-5 the mills consumed about 6S.OOO,0(X) pounds of cotton, a large 
portionof which was from the United States. At the end of the fiscal 
year 1905 the number of factories in operation was 128, by far the great- 
est number being located in the central States, Puebla leading with 29. 
The largest company is the Compafiia Industrial de Orizaba, owning 
nearly one-fifth of the total cotton manufacturing outfit of the Republic. 
As high as 15, 16, 30, and even 40 per cent dividends are mentioned as 
the profits of some of the cotton factories. 

Nearly every State has its flour mills, the total number being 433, 
Michoacan leading with 74. They are not sufficient, however, to supply 
the local demand. 

There are 21 iron and steel works in the country, one of the largest 
being the Mexican National Iron and Steel Company, located close to 
the Cerro del Mercado. the famous iron mountain of Durango. How- 
ever, all others will Ik- eclipsed by the works of La Compania Fundidora 
de Ilierro y Acero de Monterin-, in the State of Nuevo Leon, which are 
approaching completion, with a capital of 810.0OO,0CX) Mexican silver 
(84,980.000 United States gold). Torreon. another town in Nuevo 
Leon, is also an important center for the iron industry. 

There are 242 tobacco factories, Jalisco leading with 40. The largest 
manufactories of cigars and cigarettes are in the Federal districts 
Puebla and Veracruz. 

A prominent feature of the trrade of Mexico is the preponderance of 
the United States both in' imports and exports. In 1893 the imports 
from the United States were 64 per cent of the total imports and the 
exports to the United States 73 per cent of the total exjwrts. In 1905 
the United States furnished 58 per cent of the imports and took 69 per 
cent of the exports. Thus, while there has been a great increase in the 
trade between the United States and Mexico, both in imports and 
exports, the preponderance of the United States in the import trade is 
not so great as it was twelve years ago. Next in importance is the

United Kingdom, the Mexican imports from which have increased from 
54 million dollars in 1893 to 10^ millions in 1905, while the exports to 
that country, after attaining a maximum of 11 J millions in 1904, declined 
to 7.3 millions in 1905, which is lower even than the figure of 1893, 9.8 
millions. The relative positions of France and Germany during this 
period have been reversed, both in imports and expoits. AVhile in 1893 
the imports from France were nearly double those from Germany, and 
the exports to France were also slightly in excess of those to Germany, 
in 1901 the imports from Germany for the first time exceeded those from 
France, and the divergence became further accentuated in 1903, when 
imports from Germany exceeded those from France by 3 millions (since 
then the excess has been reduced to IJ millions). In exports from 
Mexico, the relative positions of Germany and France having been suc- 
cessively reversed, finally settled down in 1901 in favor of Germany, 
since which date the exports to Germany have risen to nearly three 
times those to France, the figure for 1905, $7,310,000, being neaily equal 
to that for the United Kingdom, $7,775,000. Next in importance is 
Spain, whose exports to Mexico, aside from sUght fluctuations, rose 
steadUy from $2,212,000 in 1893 to $3,734,000 in 1905, while her imports 
from Mexico, $276,000 in 1893, rose with greater fluctuations to 
$1,080,000 in 1904, declining again to $899,000 in 1905. In exports 
from Mexico Spain was surpassed throughout almost the entire period 
b}^ Belgium, which in 1901 took from Mexico goods to the value of 
$2,172,000, which figure increased to $3,894,000 in 1905, exceeding even 
that of France by over 1 milhon. The imports of Mexico from Belgium, 
too, have shown a remarkable rise, from $398,000 ia 1893 to $2,590,000 
in 1903, decUning to $2,180,000 in 1904 and $1,434,000 in 1905. How- 
ever, a considerable part of the Belgian trade probably consists of 
transit trade originating with other European countries. Among other 
countries may be mentioned Cuba, the exports to which, insignificant in 
1897, rose to $971,000 in 1898, remaining practically at $2,500,000 dur- 
ing the four following years, then dechning to $1,802,000 in 1905. This 
rapid increase was largely due to the exports of live stock needed to 
restock the Cuban plantations devastated during the war. The recent 
decline in this trade seems to indicate that the process of restocking is 
nearlj' completed. 

The largest item in the import trade of Mexico in the period 1894 to 
1903 was machinery and apparatus, due to the rapid development of 
the mining industry and railway building, as shown by the fact that the 
mineral production, valued at $29,374,000 (United States gold) in 1898, 
was valued in 1903 at $38,138,000 (United States gold), while the length 
of railways increased from 9,049 miles in 1898 to 12,217 miles in 1903. 
The imports of machinery in 1903, valued at $9,771,000, are greatly in 
excess of all previous years, the nearest approach to that figure having 
been made in 1900, with $9,331,000. Machineiy forms nearly half of 
the ''Iron and steel" class, whose total import value was $20,791,000; 
the next largest items in that group are rails, $4,856,000, and construc- 
tion material, $3,446,000. In nearlj' all classes of iron and steel goods 
the imports from the United States constitute more than half, often two- 
thirds or more, of the total; in steam engines $2,800,000 out of $3,200,000, 
in other machinery $4,000,000 out of $5,250,000. 

Imports of cotton goods come next, with a total value of $8,655,000 
for 1903, the largest item in this class bemg cotton cloths, $3,231,000, 
that item having been practicallj- stationarj^ during the entire period, 
with a maximum of 4 millions in 1896. The imports of raw cotton, 
$3,144,000, were far in excess of any previous year. Practically all of 
this, namely $3,073,591, came from the United States, and is required 
to suppl}^ the deficiency in home-grown cotton for the Mexican cotton 
mills, which in 1902-3 consumed 60,653,000 pounds of raw cotton. In 
cotton yarns and piece goods the United Kingdom far exceeds all com- 
petitors in imports into Mexico. 

Coal, $2,753,000, forms the next largest item in Mexico's imports, and 
associated with it is coke, $1,971,000. The growth in coal imports has 
been remarkable, the figure for 1903 being more than four times that of 
1894, while the figure for coke increased fivefold. Nearly all the coal, 
namely, $2,017,000 worth, came from the United States, the United 



Kingdom coming next with $646,000; in coke, on the other hand, Ger- 
many comes first, with $987,000, followed by the United States with 
$891,000. The weight of the total coal imported was 975,885 metric 
tons against 769,975 tons produced in Mexico and 3,004 tons exported. 
(One metric ton is equal to 2,204 pounds.) 

The lumber imports were $2,442,0(X) in 1903, this figure being higher 
than that of any preceding j-ear and five times that of 1894. Prac- 
tically all this lumber comes from the United States, and the same is 
trae of furniture and other manufactures of wood. 

Among other large import items are wines, $1,864,000, more than half 
of R-hich came fi-om Spain, and of the remainder by far the larger part 
carne from France; vehicles, $1,673,000, neaily two-thirds of which came 
from the United States; silk and manufactures thereof, $1,629,000, of 
which France furnished about one-half; paper and manufactures thereof, 
$1,594,000, in which the United States leads, with Germany second; 
gimpowder and other explosives, $1,-572,000, nearly three-fourths of 
which came from the United States; copper and manufactures thereof, 
$1,882,000, mostly from the United States; woolen cloths, $1,369,000, in 
which the United Kingdom leads, closely followed by France, with Ger- 
many third; wheat and other cereals, $1,345,000, of which $1,297,530 
came from the United States. 

While the imports of Mexico are almost all manufactured products, 
her exports are nearly all raw material. By far the larger part of them 
are of mineral origin, as appears from the following table:

While from 1895 to 1899 silver was mostly exported in bars, since 1900 
the largest item has been argentiferous lead and copper, three-fourths of 
which goes to the United States, whither most of the other forms of silver 
and silver ore find their way. Of the 8J milhon dollars' worth of Mexican 
pesos exported, two-thirds went to great Britain, nearly one-third to the 
United States, being probaljly in both cases intended for reexportation 
to the Far East. Nearly all the gold is exported in the form of buUion, of 
which the United States takes eight-ninths. The value of the copper 
exports, 8 million dollars in 1903, is nearly equal to that of the gold 
exports and has probably by this time exceeded it in view of the rapid 
development of this industiy since 1900. None of the other exports of 
minerals are of importance except lead, $2,279,000, four-fifths of which 
goes to the United States. 

Cofl'ee exports have dechned from $6,295,000 in 1894 to .'S3,627,000 in 
1903, or nearlj' one-half. The decline, evidently due to the low prices of 
the recent cofl'ee crisis, has been almost continuous since 1895. Two- 
thirds of the Mexican cofl'ee goes to the United States, and a little over 
one-fifth to Germany. The exports of henequen, only $3,591,000 in 
1894, have increased to $13,114,000 in 1903, or nearly fourfold. The in- 
crease in exports of istle has been in ahnost the same proportion. Prac- 
tically all the henequen and istle go to the United States.

AMtJlICAN INVESTMENTS IN MEXICO. 

American investments in Mexico aggregate probably inoic than 
St)0().lJ(X),(KX). In VM2, according to the report of the United States con- 
sul, 1.117 AniericMii companies, linns, and individuals had at that time 
invested .S.'300.1XX),(KK) gold, in round ligures. in Mexico, and the increase 
since that time has probably averaged over .50 millions annually. About 
half of this has Ix-en invested since 1898. 

About two-thirdsof thistotalisinvestedinrailroads. All theimportant 
railroads in Mexico (except the Interoccanic, the Mexican, and the Te- 
huantejjcc) are owned chiefly by American capital, the amount of stock 
held byothersthan Americans being comparatively small. Of the total 
investments in Mexican railways, 80 per cent belongs to Americans. The 
Mexican Central represents the largest single American interest in Mexico, 
having paid out for the construction and equipment of the road to the 
end of 1902 the sum of §158,999,979. The Mexican National is the next 
strongest, with an investment of §107,350,000. 

Next in importance is the mining industry, in which Americans have 
invested nearly .SI 00 ,000 ,000. The largest share of this, or S27 .800.000, 
is in Sonora mines, 821,000,000 in Chihuahua, 56,500,000 in Durango, 
and §6,000,000 in Coahuila. 

Investments in agricultural enterprises amount to about $30,000,000. 

In manufactories and foundries about §10,000,000 had been invested 
up to 1902, but the figure doubtless is very much larger now, in view of 
the enormous development that has taken place, especially in the State 
of Sonora and at Monterey. In U)02 the State of Sinaloa headed the list 
with i?4 ,000.000, mostly invested in sugar relineries: the State of Nuevo 
Leon came next, with •S2,.500,000 invested mostly in the smelters at Mon- 
terey: the Federal District came third, with .?2,400.000. 

In hanking §4,2.50,000 was invested in 1902, of which .§2,700.000 was 
in the Federal District and §1,.")00,(XX) in Xucvo Leon. 

Other investments exceeding §1,000,000 are as follows: Architects, 
engineers, contractors, $3,000,000; assay offices and laboratories, 
$7,000,000; brokers, commission men, general agents, $1,. 500,000; elec- 
tric light, telegraph, telephone, etc., $6,000,000: luml)er and sawmills, 
$1,600,000: and real estate dealers, building companies, etc., 83,000,000. 

CURRENCY. 

In December, 1904, a bill was passed for the reform of the existing 
currency whi<-h was intended to create a stable silver currency as a 
transition step to the gold currency. The chief provisions of the law- 
were the arbitrary' fixing of the value of the Mexican silver dollar, 
which contains 24.4391 grams of fine silver and 2.()342 grams of copper, 
at 49.8 cents United States currency, which al.so happens to be the 
value of the Japanese yen, and is the equivalent of 75 centigrams of 
fine gold. The unlimited coinage of silver was aboli.shed and the right 
to issue silver coin confined to the Government. The law came into 
foice May 1, 1905, and immediately showed its beneficent effect on 
Mexican commerce and industry. Tlie stability of the currency, which 
removed the extreme fluctuations in foreign exchange, has stimulated 
international (leadings and is expected to attract foreign capital to 
even a greater extent than has l>een the case heretofore. 

The Cicveniment hius Ix-en able without any difficulty to maintain 
the newly established value of the silver dollar, and it is believed that 
before long it will Im> able to intioducc gold currency in circulation, 
since the gold standard is now practically the one recognized as a basis 
for its silver currency. Tlio continuous rise of silver in the world 
markets during the most recent period may prove a potent factor in 
making goKI part of the national circulation, since the Government may 



and actually does with profit .sell silver in exchange for gold to l>e used 
lus circulating medium at home. It is reported that considerable quan- 
tities of gold coins have Ix'en put into circulation by the Government, 
though naturally the change from the former system of an exclusive 
silver circulation to one composed of gold and silver is as yet hardly 
perceptible. Both the Government and the principal banks hold now 
considerable cjuanlities of gold, the latter about 27.7 million pesos, as a 
part of their reserve and exchange fund for their circulating bank 
notes. 

TARIFF. 

The present tariff law of Mexico took effect Septeralx-r 1, 1905, when 
rates were revised to bring them in accord with the changed standard of 
value. The tariff is highly protective on all products which Mexico tries 
to produce at home. The duties are all specific. Raw materials needed 
in the production of manufactured articles are mostly admitted free or at 
low rates of duty. In revising the tarilf most of the surtaxes which were 
formerly imposed upon imports have been abolished with the exception 
of the municipal surtax of IJ per cent on the amount of the duties and 
the stamp duties on tobacco, which are paid not only on imported prod- 
ucts, but on products of domestic manufacture as well. An export 
duty is levied on certain kinds of wood, grasses, henequen, istle, and 
hides and skins. 

[A detailed discussion of conditions in Mexico was published by the 
Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor in Feb- 
niary, 1905, entitled "Commercial Mexico in 1904," and may be had 
on appHcation to that Bureau.] 

MIQUELON, LANGLEY, AND ST. PIERRE (FRENCH). 

[Area. 93 square miles; population in 1902. 6,482.] 

This group of islands lies off the south coast of Newfoundland and, 
being of an extremely rocky character and unfit for agriculture, the 
inhabitants are chiefly engaged in the cod-fishing industry-. The im- 
ports in 1903 were valued at §1,681,0(X), about one-half being from 
France. The exports in the same year were §1,844,000, of which 
about nine-tenths represented domestic products, chiefly fresh or dried 
cod, cod-liver oil, etc. The trade of the United States with Miquelon, 
Langley, and St. Pierre is inconsiderable, imports therefrom in 1905 
having been but $3,080 in value, and exports thereto §51,106. For- 
merly the exports from the United States to this colony ranged from 
$200,000 to nearly $500,000 annually, and imports in the five years 
1894 to 1898, inclusive, averaged about §1.50,000 per annum: but since 
1900 the trade has decreased until it reached in 1905 the figures above 
quoted. 

NEWFOUNDLAND. 

[Area, 40,200 square miles; population in 1901, 217,037 (exclusive of Labrador, 
ritli an area of 120.000 square miles and a population of 3,634).] 

The total commerce of Newfoundland in the fiscal year ended June 
30, 1905, was 820,948,000, of which §10,279,000 was imports and 
§10,669,000 exports. Of the imports 26.7 per cent was from the United 
States, and of the exports 13.3 per cent was sent to the United States. 
The official figures of the United States with reference to its trade \vith 
Newfoundland show that the imports from that country have grown 
from §3.5-1,003 in 1890 to §.562,7.59 in 1900 and §1,184,229 in 1905, and 
the exports thereto from §1.221,704 in 1S90 to $2,017,524 in 1900 and 
$2,449,425 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

PARAGUAY. 

[.\rca, 157,000 square miles; population in 1899, 6,'}0,103.] 

Tlie total commerce of Paraguay in 1904, the latest year for which 
statistics are available, was .§6,745,000, of which §3,566,000 was imports 
and §3,179.000 exports. Of the imports 3.5 per cent was drawni from 
the Ur.it(-d States, no direct exports to the United States being shown 
in the Paraguayan report. The official figures of the United States 
with reference to its trade with Paraguay show that the imports from 
that country have grown from $1,740 in 1901 to $2,205 in 1905, and 
the exports thereto from $12,695 in 1901 to $39,130 in 1905, these being 
fiscal-vear ligures in all cases.

COMMERCE. 

The exports and imports of Paraguay during 1904, according to the 
report of tlie ehamber of commerce at Asuncion, amounted to $3,178,819 
and S3,5G5,631, respectively. In 1899 they amounted to $2,900,000 
and $2,147,838, respectively. The chief imports in 1904 were as fol- 
ows: Textiles, $1,151,556; groceries, $619,371; manufactures of iron 
and steel, $518,792, and beverages, $264,941. The chief exports in 
1903 were as follows: Hides and skins, $1,056,220; yerba mate, $789,843; 
woods, $585,061 ; jerked beef, .$398,5.58; tobacco, $323,952; quebracho 
extract, $300,628, and oranges, $156,173. Of the imports of 1904, 
Great Britain is credited with $1,168,198, or about one-third of the 
total; Germany with $887,668, or one-fourth of the total; Argentina 
with $435,544, or one-eighth; France with $311,650, or about 9 per cent 
of the imports; Italy with $294,809; Spain with $206,652, and the 
United States with $125,296. The imports from Great Britain consist 
largely of textiles and manufactures of iron and steel. The imports 
from Gerrnany are chiefly textiles, manufactures of iron and steel, and 
food studs. The imports from Argentina are chiefly food stufl's, those 
from France are to a large extent textiles, foodstuffs, and beverages. 
Beverages occupy the first place in the imports from Italy. Owing 
to the fact that the exports from Paraguay must pass either through 
Brazilian or Uruguayan ports, there are no statistics of the distribution 
of the exports among foreign countries. By far the larger part of the 
trade passes through the Asuncion custom-house. 

TARIFF. 

The import tariff of Paraguay provides for ad valorem rates of duty 
ranging all the way from 2 to 80 per cent. The new tariff, which went 
into effect March 16, 1906, divides the imports into ten classes. 

The first class provides a duty of 35 per cent ad valorem on all articles 
not specially mentioned; the second, with a duty of 2 per cent ad valo- 
rem, includes iron, steel and copper bars and plates, and precious stones; 
the third, 5 per cent ad valorem, includes gold and silver jewelry, scien- 
tific instruments, sewing machines, spades, wheat, and other articles; 
the fourth, 15 percent ad valorem, includes among other articles cast iron 
in bars, and fire bricks; the fifth, 20 per cent ad valorem, includes flour, 
unpolished marble, and ammunition; the sixth, 25 per cent ad valorem, 
firearms, cotton goods, etc. ; the seventh , 40 per cent ad valorem, includes 
all kinds of oils ( except petroleum ) , porcelain, silk goods, etc. ; the eighth, 
55 per cent ad valorem, harness and other leather goods, coffee, shoes, 
cigars and cigarettes, confectionery, corn, furniture, ready-made cloth- 
ing, wines, matches, etc.; the ninth, 80 per cent ad valorem, includes 
alcohol, rum, and playing cards. The tenth class, or free list, includes 
telegraph wire, cattle for breeding purposes, agricultural implements, 
railway appliances, crude chemicals, locomotives, machinery, Roman 
cement, steel and iron wire for fencing purposes, etc. 

PERU. 

[Area, 695,700 square miles; population estimated at about 4,500,000.] 
The total commerce of Peru in 1904, the latest year for which statis- 
tics are available, was $40,706,000, of which $20,916,000 was imports 
and $19,790,000 exports. Of the imports 17.98 per cent was drawn 
from the United States, and of the exports 9.34 per cent was sent to the 
United States. The official figures of the United States with reference 
to its trade with Peru show that the imports from that country have 
grown from $351,695 in 1890 to $2,122,543 in 1900 and $3,152,964 in 
1905, and the exports thereto from $1,427,301 in 1890 to $1,662,475 in 
1900, and $3,6.57,225 in 1905, these being fiscal year figures in all cases. 

Peru lies wholly within the Tropics, and is divided geographically into 
three regions. The narrow coast region rises to about 4,000 feet, and 
has a hot, dry climate. The Andes region has a temperate or even 
cold climate, with considerable rain and snow fall. East of the 
Andes lies the forest region or " montafla," with its fertile river valleys 
and navigable rivers belonging to the Amazon system. 

32791—06 3 



The coast region, although largely a desert, is the most developed part 
of the country, not only in commerce, for which it is adapted by its posi- 
tion and transportation facilities, but also in agriculture and the manu- 
facturing industries. In the irrigated valleys of the coast there are 
raised considerable crops of sugar, cotton, rice, corn, coffee, cacao, to- 
bacco, etc. The production of sugar has increased from 95,000 metric 
tons in 1895 to nearly 157,000 metric tons in 1904, of which by far 
the larger part is exported. The cotton output for 1904 is estimated 
officially at 10,000 metric tons. The high-land regions are well adapted 
for cattle raising, but the industry has undergone very little system- 
atic improvement. An English company has recently imported about 
6,000 sheep of improved breeds, with promising results. In spite of the 
rather primitive condition of the grazing industry in Peru, the exports of 
wool during 1904 amounted to about $1,600,000, of which alpaca wool 
constituted about 80 per cent. 

The "montafla" of Peru abounds in rubber, but the systematic ex- 
ploitation of the rubber regions is retarded by insufficiency of trans- 
portation facilities. The principal manufacturing establishments are 
sugar mills, cotton mills, with an annual production of about 20,000,000 
yards of cloth, mostly coarse; woolen mills, hat factories, oil presses, 
cocaine factories, and cigar factories. Almost all of the larger estabUsh- 
ments are operated by foreigners. 

TRANSPORTATION . 

The transportation facilities of Peru are as yet far from adequate. The 
railways, of which there were about 1,200 miles in 1904, are confined to a 
large extent to the coast region, where natural obstacles to construction 
are slight. But as the economic importance of the ' ' montafla " is recog- 
nized more and more, and its valuable resources are beginning to attract 
the attention of the large foreign syndicates, the railway lines are grad- 
ually extended into the sierra regions, and plans are well advanced for con- 
necting the headwaters of the Amazon with the coast by rail. Thus 
Lima is now connected by rail with Cerro de Pasco, the center of the mining 
industry, and there is a line running from the port of Mollendo to Sicunai, 
87 miles from Cuzco. The Sicuani-Cuzco line is now in course of con- 
struction. There is a branch line from Juliaca, on the Mollendo-Cuzco 
line, to Puno, on Lake Titicaca, by which an outlet is afl'orded to a part 
of the Bolivian exports. Most of the railways belong to the State, but 
are operated by the Peruvian Corporation, in accordance with the agree- 
ment of 1890. Peru is connected b}' telegraph with Bolivia, and there 
are cable stations at Payta, Callao, Lima, Baranca, and Mollendo. An 
automobile freight line has recently been established between Lima and 
Callao. 

COMMERCE. 

The imports into Peru increased from a little over $8,000,000 in 
1897 to nearly $21,000,000 in 1904, an increase of about 160 per cent. 
Exports from Peru increased during the same period from about 
$13,900,000 to about $19,800,000, or over 42 per cent. The chief im- 
ports inl904 were: Iron and steel,$5,781,000; textiles, $5,153,000; food- 
stufts, $2,480,000; coal, $1,100,000; dmgs, etc., $624,000; paper, $572,- 
000; leather and manufactures thereof, $320,000; and oils of all kmds, 
$242,000. The main exports in 1903 (the latest year for which detailed 
statistics are available) were as follows: Sugar, $5,017,138; minerals, 
metals, etc., $4,636,864; gums and resins, $2,149,023: wool, $1,979,614; 
cotton, $1,547,936; leather and manufactures thereof, $752,676; and 
cocaine, $474,513. 

In the imports of 1904 Great Britain comes first with $7,637,305; the 
United States second, $3,761,352; Germany third, $3,413,952; France 
fourth, $1,287,209; and Chile fifth, $1,060,415. Comparmg the two five- 
year periods of 1895-1899 and 1900-1904, we find that the average im- 
ports from the United States have increased 166.1 per cent; those from 
the United Kmgdom, 27.1 per cent; from Germany, 54.6 per cent; from 
France, .53.5 per cent ; and from Italy, 68.7 per cent. The rapid increase 
in imports from the United States is due largely to the increase in Ameri- 
can investments in Peru, which are estimated at present at $25,000,000.

The pmittvst iiuTonso is .sliown in the imports of manufactures of iron

lileaehed cotton goods, which con.stitutc a large part of our exports of 
cotton manufactures to that country. The imports of breadstuITs, pro- 
visions, and other f(K)dstulTs from the United States have increased to a 
large extent, hnvidstulfs having advanced from an annual average of 
$;IS,L>(10 in lS*).5-lSi)9 to S44(5,1(X) in 19(X)-1904, and provisions from 
$4<)..')(K) to SUK^.tXX) (luring the same periods. According to figures puh- 
lishcd hy the Bureau of Statistics, the total exports from the United 
Slates to Peru during the (iscal year 19().5 were 53,6.57,22.5, the princip:il 
articles Ix-ing as follows: Iron and steel and manufactures of, .?1 ,364,28.5; 
bn^adstulTs, $268,2.32; cotton cloth, 8142,:>02: wood and manufactures 
of, $439,277; cars, carriages, etc., $135,430; and chemicals, drugs, etc., 
$119,581. The imports into the United States from Peru during the 
same year amounted to $.1,1.52,964, the chief commodities being: Sugar, 
$1,018,208; raw cotton, S398,,531; nitrate of soda and other chemicals, 
drugs, etc., S.596, 347; wool, S321, 118; guano, $273,988; hides and skins, 
$259,366; and rubber, $119,297. The chief ports of Peru are Caliao, 
Mollendo, Salaverry, Iquitos (on the Amazon), and Paytu. There is di- 
rect steam communication with Panama and the United Kingdom. The 
merchant marine of Peru is as yet insignificant. 



The import tariff of Peru consists almost entirely of ad valorem rates 
of duty, which, in common with the general custom in South Ameri'-an 
countries, are virtually made specific by means of a valuation tariff fix- 
ing the values of merchandise for customs purposes. The tariflf con- 
tains over 3,300 .schedules with rates of duty of 10, 20, 25, 40, 45, and 
65 per cent ad valorem. A few articles (wheat, flour, opium, kerosene, 
and beer in Ixittles) are subject to specific rates. The free list includes, 
among other products, steel in bars or sheets, copper wire, plows, pumps, 
coal, Roman cement, copper, explosives, railway appliances, agricultural 
implements, fire bricks, all kinds of machinery, sewing machines, boilers, 
cranes, etc. 

SANTO DOMINGO. 

[Area, 18,045 square miles; population, 610,000.] 

The total commerce of Santo Domingo ranges from 6 to 9 million dol- 
lars annually. Of the imports about two-thirds are drawn from the 
United States, and of the exports about two-thirds are sent to the United 
States. The official figures of the United States with reference to its 
trade with the Dominican Republic show that imports therefrom have 
increased from $1,951,013 in 1890 to $3,680,413 in 1900 and $4,664,209 
in 1905, and exports thereto from $950,217 in 1890 to $1,317,098 in 1900 
and $1,666,789 in 190.5. 

Official statistics of commerce of Santo Domingo are meager and infor- 
mation on this subject is obtained largelj' from reports of consuls located 
in that country and the statistics of foreign countries showing their trade 
with Santo Domingo. 

Tlie exports and imports from 1890 to 1903 (the latest year for 
which data are available^ are given as follows;

Sugar and cacao are the most important articles of export, constitut- 
ing together about two-thirds of the total. While the exports of cacao 
have more than quadrupled during the last decade, the sugar industry 
has remained nearl}^ stationary. The latest sugar statistics (Senate 
Document No. 250, Fifty-ninth Congress, first session) do not separate 
the figures for the Dominican Republic from those for Haiti, but the 
combined figures for the two for 1894-1900 is about 50,000 tons, and as 
the conditions in the two Republics were approximately the same, their 
respective shares in the total have probably been practically unchanged. 
The exports of bananas, largely due to the operations of the United 
Fruit Company, have rapidly increased in recent years, though the 
destruction of the plantations of the San Lorenzo Fruit Company by a 
cyclone checked their increase for a time. 

The imports of the United States from the Dominican Republic 
from 1895 to 1905 are shown in a table herewith. Throughout the 
decade sugar has been by far the most important item, constituting in 
1905 more than two-thirds and in some parfier yeai-s an even larger 
proportion of the total. The imports of Dominican cacao, though in 
1905 not quite one-fifth those of sugar, have increased far more rapidly. 
The most remarkable development has been in the banana trade, 
which rose from practically nothing in 1894 to $284,000 in 1905, occu- 
pying now the third place. Dyewoods, which in 1895 and 1896 came 
next after sugar, dwindled to almost nothing in 1904, though 1905 
shows once more a considerable rise, probably due to the opening of 
new tracts by railway. 

The exports to the United States constitute nearly two-thirds of the 
total Dominican exports. Xext follow Germany, France, and Great 
Britain. The German statistics show an increase in imports from the 
Dominican Republic from $1,338,000 in 1900 to $2,146,000 in 1904. 
By far the largest item in the German imports is cacao, which rose from 
$194,000 in 1900 to $1,1.52,000 in 1904; that "is, from one-seventh to 
more than half of the total. Coffee meantime fell off from $259,000 to 
$104,0(X). Other notable imports into Germany were dividivi, $35,000; 
cattle hides, .$85,700; leaf tobacco, $614,000 (practically stationary 
siiice 1900) ; beeswax, $99,200. French imports increased from $779,000 
in 1903 to $870,000 in 1904. Cacao, $776,000, formed nearly seven- 
eighths of the total. Of other items only raw coffee, $54,000, and exotic 
woods. $31,000, are noteworthy. The British statistics of trade with 
the Dominican Republic are combined with those for Haiti.

No detailed statements of imports into the Dominican Republic are 
at hand for recent j'cars, so that the only available sources are the sta- 
tistics of the countries from which the imports were derived. A table on 
another page shows the exports from the United States to the Dominican 
Republic for the decade 1895-1905. These exports have remained 
practicallj' stationary — in the neighborhood of a million and a half 
dollars. The United States furnishes more than half the imports into 
the Dominican Republic, followed by Germany, Great Britain, and 
France. The largest item, constituting one-fifth of the total exports 
from the United States to the Dominican Republic in 1905, was cotton 
cloths, 8325,600 ; a decrease from the preceding year, but a lai-ge increase 
over all years previous to 1901. Wheat flour, $205,311, in 1905 was 
much below the figure for cotton cloth, but surpassed it in 1895-1898. 
Iron and manufactures thereof formed an aggregate of $238,000 in 1905; 
leather and manufactures thereof, $100,000, of which boots and shoes 
were $73,000; provisions, $107,000; wood and manufactures thereof, 
$79,000. 

German exports to the Dominican Republic show a decline from 
$306,000 in 1900 to $243,000 in 1904. In 1904 nearly half of them con- 
sisted of rice, $86,250, and beer in bottles, $25,500, in each of which 
there had been a decline since 1900. The French exports, $34,000 in 
1904, against $59,000, in 1903, consisted mainly of woolen cloths and 
wines. The Britisji exports to the Dominican Republic, merged with 
those to Haiti, are stated by the French consul to be slightly in excess 
of those of France, but to have diminished by one-half since 1896. 

According to the statistics of the collector of customs of Santo 
Domingo, the 1905 trade of the Dominican Republic with the United 
States amounted to $6,445,346, or 65 per cent of the whole, and repre- 
sented imports received from the United States valued at $1,961,075 
and exports invoiced at $4,482,271. Thus the United States pur- 
chased 65 per cent of all the native products exported and furnished 
59 per cent of the merchandise imported during the year. Seventeen 
per cent of the trade went to Germany, 11 per cent to France, and a 
little over 4 per cent to Great Britain, the latter being the only country 
mentioned whose sales to the Republic were greater than its purchases 
from it. 

TARIFF. 

The import tariff of Santo Domingo contains over 2,000 schedules, 
the rates being mostly specific. A number of the articles for which ad 
valorem rates are provided have their values specified in the tariff, mak- 
ing the rates virtually specific. The tariff is a revenue measure. In 
addition to the regular import duties, a number of surtaxes, stamp 
duties, consumption taxes, etc., are levied. The Republic has also an 
export tariff, levying rates on a considerable number of products. 

URUGUAY. 

[Area, 72,210 square miles; population in 1902 estimated at 978,000.] 

The total commerce of Uruguay in 1903, the latest year for which 
complete statistics are available, was $64,598,000, of which $25,958,000 
was imports and $38,640,000 exports. Of the imports 8.48 per cent was 
drawn from the United States, and of the exports 4.63 per cent was sent 
to the United States. The official figures of the United States with ref- 
erence to its trade with Uruguay show that the imports from that coun- 
try have grown from $1,754,903 in 1890 to $1,848,077 in 1900 and 
$3,158,856 in 1905; and the exports thereto were $3,351,874 in 1890, 
$1,816,720 in 1900, and $1,990,694 in 1905, these being fiscal year figures 
in all cases. 

COMMERCE. 

The trade of Uruguay has been practically stationary during the last 
decade. This phenomenon, which presents a decided contrast to the 
conditions prevailing in the neighboring La Plate States, is attributed 
generallj- to the frequent political disturbances from which the country 
has suffered of late. From 1891 to 1897 the annual exports averaged 
about $30,500,000, as compared with the annual average of about 
$34,500,000 for the period of 1898-1904. The imports for the same 
periods averaged $22,346,000 and $24,808,000 per annum, respectively. 



The position of the chief competing nations in regard to the import trade 
of Uruguay is discussed by Special Agent Hutchinson as follows: 

Among the chief sources of supply of these imports the United States 
holds fourth place, being surpas.sed by England, Germany, and France. 
The increase in oui' trade in the past few years, however, lias been fairly 
satisfactory, and there nrv. indications that we ma\' soon pass France and 
take third place. The following tabic illustrates the movement which 
is taking place. The figures are compiled from the export statistics of 
the various countries mentioned as being more reliai>le than the Uru- 
guayan import statistics. They show the aniuuil average value in thou- 
sands of United States dollars of exports to I'ruguay of all domestic 
merchandise for the two five-year periods named:

The imports for 1904, as will be seen from the following table, are 
considerably below those for the preceding year, the decrease being due 
to the political disturbar ces which took place during 1904. The im- 
ports and exports for 1903 and 1904, compared with those for the period 
1899-1903, were made up as follows:

The greatest decrease was in the imports of raw material and machin- 
ery, as the manufacturing industries were most affected by the political 
disturbances of the year. The export trade, on the other hand, does not 
seem to have suffered much, the unfavorable political situation having 
been counteracted by good harvests and a plentiful wool chp. The 
imports from the United States showing the highest increases during the 
periods 1894-1898 and 1899-1903 are manufactures of iron and steel, 
cordage and twine, leather and manufactures of, paints, colors, etc., and 
paper and manufactures of. In the imports from England, large 
increases are shown in coal and coke, manufactures of iron and steel, 
and scientific instniments. The imports from Germany showing large 
increases are cotton and food stuffs. The chief imports from Uruguay 
into the United States during the fiscal year 1905 were as follows: Hides 
and skins, $1,529,288; wool, $1,263,792, and hair, $141,449. The chief 
exports from the United States to Uruguay during the same year were: 
Mineral oils, $393,378; wood, and manufactures of, $361,311; manufac- 
tures of iron and steel, $405,047, and agricultural implements, $114,400. 
Most of the commerce of Uruguay passes through the port of Monte- 
video, which is undergoing extensive improvements.

VENEZUELA. 

[Area. .v,Kl,<M:t sqiiiiri- iiiilos; population in 1903 estimated at 2,633.671'.] 
The total commerce of Venezuela in 1902-3, the latest year for 
which statistics ar.- available, was .•?1.S,07S,()(X), of which S.i.42.5,000 was 
imports and $7,(w,3.tXK) exports. Of the imports, ■.ir,.{) per cent was from 
the United States and of the exports 35.7 per cent was sent to the 
United States. The official figures of the United States with reference 
to its trade with Venezuela .show that the imports from that country 
declined from S10,9(R),7Go in 1890 to $.5,.500,019 in 1900 and increased to 
$7.109,S.tO in 1905, and the exports thereto declined from .?4,028,.5S3 in 
1890 to .<!2,452,757 in 1900 and increased to $3,213,575 in 1905, these 
being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

COMMERCE. 

According to the figures published by the ministry of finance, the 
imports and exports of Venezuela for the fiscal year 1903 amounted to 
$5.425,0tX1 and $7,0.53,000, respectively. The import trade was dis- 
tributed among the foreign nations as follows: The United States, 35 per 
Ci'nt ; United Kingdom, 24 per cent; Germany, 20 per cent ; France, 7 per 
cent; the Netherlands, 5.8 per cent; Spain, 5.3 per cent, and Italy, 2.1 
per cent. The export trade for the same year was distributed as fol- 
lows: The United States, 35 per cent; France, 34 per cent; the Nether- 
lands, 19 per cent; Germany, 5 per cent; Spain, 4.5 per cent, and the 
United Kingdom, 1.2 per cent. The chief exports for the fiscal year 
1^3 were a.s follows: ColVee, .53 per cent; cacao, 24 per cent: hides and 
skins, 10 |>er cent; pearls, 3 per cent, and asphaltum, 2 per cent. The 
above figures are not complete, as they do not include the commerce of 
Ciudad Bolivar and of a few small custom-houses. It must also be 
remembered that the commerce for the year given was allected by the 
political disturbances, and was therefore considerably below the normal. 
The average annual imports and exports for the decade 1885 to 1894 
were $ll,r)'22,000 and $18,132,000, respectively. 

The commerce of ^■enezuela with the chief foreign countries during 
the decade 1895 to 1904, as compiled from foreign sources, was as fol-

' As seen from the »lM)ve. the foreign trade of Venezuela has greatly 
declined. Tiie imports from Venezuela to the United States during the 
fiscal year 1905 amounted to $7,109,,S.')0, of which coffee amounted to 
$4,.52li,03(): hides and skins, $1 ,.5-19,205, and guano, $37,4.57. The 
exports from the United States to \'eiiezuela during the same year 
amounted to $:j,213,.575, the principal articles being wheat flour, 
$65-1 ,.557; cotton doth, $415,.S43; manufactures of iron and steel (includ- 
ing instruments and apparatus for .scientific purposes), $504,033: lard, 
$29S,2.56, and mineral oils, $145,3.59. The commerce of Venezuela for 
the fi.M-al year 1903 was distributed among the four largest ports as fol- 
lows: Im ( luaira, 52 pir c .til ; Maracailx), 29.45 per cent; Puerto Cabello, 
14.13 p<'r cent, and Carupano, 2.93 per cent. 



The import tarifT of Venezuela divides foreign merchandise into nine 
classes paying specific rates of duty as follows: (1) 5 centimes of the 
bolivar per kilogram: (2) 10 centimes of the bolivar per kilogram; (3) 
25 centimes of the bolivar per kilogram: (4) 75 centimes of the bolivar 
per kilogram; (.5) 1 bolivar 25 centimes per kilogram: ((5) 2 bolivars 
50 centimes per kilogram: (7) 5 bolivars per kilogram; (S) 10 bolivars 
per kilogram: (9) 20 bolivars per kilogram. 

Among the goods admitted free of duty are live animals, iron boiler 
plates, agricultural implements, barbed-wire fences, Roman cement, 
printing papers and their accessories, certain kinds of machinery, iron 
bridges, etc. 

WEST INDIES. 

BRITISH. 

[Area. 121,020 square miles: population in 1903, 1,965,016.] 

The total commerce of the British West Indies in 1903-4, the latest 
year for which complete statistics are available, was $63,318,000, of which 
$36,469,000 was imports and .?26,849,000 exports. Of the imports 
35.32 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports 
45.60 per cent was sent to the United States. The official figures of the 
United States with reference to its trade with the British West Indies 
show that the imports from said islands have declined from $14,865,018 
in 1890 to $11,894,.520 in 1900 and $10,4.37,022 in 1905, and the exports 
thereto have grown from 88,288,786 in 1890 to .S8,895,1C.4 in 1900 and 
$10,030,288 in 1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. Jamaica, 
Trinidad, and Barbados contribute over 50 per cent of the total trade 
of the British West Indies. The chief imports are cotton, articles of 
apparel, and manufactures of iron and steel. The chief exports are 
sugar and sugar products and fruits. The trade of the United States 
with the British West Indies during the fiscal year 1905 was as follows: 
Exports, $10,030,288: imports, 810,4.37,022, the chief imports being 
bananas, sugar, cocoa, and asphaltum, and the chief exports breadstufTs, 
provisions, and manufactures of leather. The revenue and expenditures 
of the British West Indies for 1904 were 810,728,403 and $11,200,000, 
respectively. The total public debt in 1904 was $28,855,150. 

DANISH. 
[.Vroa, 138 square miles; population in 1901, 30,527.) 
The Danish West Indies consist of the islands of St. Thomas, St. 
Croix, and St. John. The imports and exports of St. Croix for 1904 
were $683,839 and $364,936, respectively. The imports into St. 
Thomas and St. John for the same year amounted to $983,270. The 
chief export is sugar, which goes to the United States. The exports 
from the United States to the Danish West Indies during 1905 amounted 
to $699,569, and the imports from the Danish West Indies to the United 
States were $400,904, consisting almost entirely of sugar. The chief 
exports from the United States to the islands are breadstufi's and coal. 
The trade with Denmark is small. The imports into Denmark from the 
islands in 1904 amounted to $30.(XX) and the exports from that country 
to the islands were less than 87.000. 

DUTCH (CURASAO). 
[.\rea, 403 square miles; population in 1902, 53,046.] 
The colonv of Curavao consists of the islands of Curacao, Bonaire, 
Aruba, a part of St. Maryiii, St. Eustache, and Saba. The imports into 
the island of Curasao amounted in 1903 to $1,193,000. The exports 
from the other islands for the same year amounted to 8129,000. The 
imports into Curavao are largely for the mainland. The exports from 
that island are imknown. The exports from the United States to the 
Dutch West Indies in 1905 were $832,808; the imports into the liiited 
States for the same year amounted to $193,309, chiefly hides and skins, 
drugs and dves, and woods.

FRENCH. 

[Area, 1,160 square miles; population, 392,140.] 

The total commerce of the French West Indies in 1903, the latest year 
for which complete statistics by countries are available, was $13,445,000, 
of which $7,092,000 was imports and $6,353,000 exports. Of the imports 
30.9 per cent was drawn from the United States, and of the exports only 
$13,000 worth was sent to the United States. The official figures of the 
United States with reference to its trade with the French West Indies 
show that the imports from these islands were $128,997 in 1890, $30,176 
in 1900, and $34,529 in 1905; and the exports thereto, which were 
$1,792,612 in 1890 and $1,867,168 in 1900, decreased to $1,357,706 in 
1905, these being fiscal-year figures in all cases. 

PORTO RICO. 
[Area, 3,606 square miles; estimated populat on, 1,000,000.] 

Porto Rico is situated east of the island of Haiti and west of the 
islands St. Croix and St. Thomas. Its area is 3,606 square miles (about 
half the size of New Jersey), and its population in 1904 was estimated at 
1,000,000 (61.8 per cent white and 38.2 per cent colored), or 277 persons 
to the square mile, a density far in excess of the average of the United 
States (27) and greater than that of any American State except Massa- 
chusetts (349) and Rhode Island (343). The dominant and almost 
exclusive industry of Porto Rico is agriculture. Formerly coffee was by 
far the most important product. According to the census of 1899, 41 per 
cent of all the cultivated land was devoted to coffee, 15 per cent to sligar 
cane, 14 per cent to bananas, 8 per cent to sweet potatoes, 4 per cent to 
Indian corn, 2 per cent to malangas, 2 per cent to rice, 1 per cent to 
cocoanuts, and 1 per cent to tobacco. Thus the coffee area at that time 
was nearly three times the sugar area, and the value of the products bore 
about the same relation. Since then the relation has been largely 
reversed. In 1905 of the entire exports of the island, amounting to 
$18,709,565, sugar constituted 63.7 per cent, coffee 11.5 per cent, and 
tobacco 2.3 per cent. The crisis in the coffee industry, which brought 
about this reversal, was due to overproduction induced by previous high 
prices, partial loss of the Spanish market, owing to the imposition of high 
duties, partial loss of the French market for a similar reason, the change 
in the money standard, and the hurricane of August 8, 1899. The hope 
that the figure of the banner year, 1896, namely, 59 million pounds, 
would be attained within the near future has not yet been realized. On 
the contrary, the quantity of exports in 1905 was not quite half so large 
as in 1904, though more than half in value. However, the conditions 
for coffee culture are so favorable as regards labor, facilities for trans- 
portation, and absence of export duties that the present decline can 
hardly be considered otherwise th^n as temporary. The great develop- 
ment which the sugar industry has assumed since the American occupa- 
tion is due of course to the fact that the immense market of the United 
States became free to the Porto Rican product. The coflfee industry did 
not gain by this change to an equal extent for the reason that coffee had 
been on the free list before annexation and so remained. Moreover, the 
Porto Rican coffee belongs to the class of ' 'mild coffees," which are more 
popular in Europe than in the United States. Almost immediately 
after the annexation large tracts of lowlands along the coast were 
bought by Americans and transformed into sugar plantations, which 
yielded a large income to their owners. Lands which had lain idle for 
many years were thus transformed into sources of wealth, and soon the 
most desirable sugar lands had been taken up. From the lowlands the 
sugar plantations are spreading inland to the line beyond which this crop 
is no longer profitable. With the increase in the crop there came a 
change of methods. Everjrwhere the old processes of manufacture were 
replaced by modern scientific methods, which extract 10 or 11 per cent 
of sugar from the cane against the 5 or 7 per cent of former days. The 
coffee and sugar Industries are not rivals. Sugar thrives best in the low- 
lands and coffee thrives best in the highlands. The two areas do not 
overlap nor even come in contact. 

Tobacco is rapidly becoming one of the most valuable staples of export. 
Large tracts in the interior valleys have been cleared for cultivation and 



covered with clicese cloth, in the shelter of which the tobacco is grown. 
Fortunately tiie best quality of tobacco is found in the highlands and on 
soils which are unsuitable for other crops, and in this way labor and 
crops are more evenly distributed over the island. The culture of to- 
bacco is particularly inviting, in that it requires no large capital or 
expensive machinery and tlie loss of a crop can bo repaired in one year. 

The climate, rainfall, and soil of Porto Rico indicate on the whole a 
good country for corn. Farmers report a crop of 60 bushels on new land 
of good quality and 20 to 25 bushels on old land. In 1897 Porto Rico 
exported to Cuba 4,246,776 pounds of corn and 7,946 pounds of corn 
meal, and to Spain 30,133 pounds of corn. No corn was imported in 
that year, showing that the production was more than sufficient for 
home consumption. 

Considerable quantities of rice were produced in former times, but as 
the rice area is coextensive with the sugar area, sugar, being the more 
valuable crop, tends to drive out the cultivation of rice. Beans are 
planted for home consumption, though not in sufficient quantity to sup- 
ply the demand. The same is to be said of sweet potatoes. Bananas 
are produced in great abundance to furnish shade to the coffee plants 
and are also grown without reference to coffee. They constitute the prin- 
cipal vegetable food of the laboring class. The product of bananas per 
acre on rich land is enormous, in some cases as much as 60,000 pounds of 
fruit per acre. Nearly all kinds of vegetables can be raised. One gar- 
dener near Rio Piedras delivered in San Juan several loads of water- 
melons, each melon weighing 50 pounds or over. 

FRUITS. 

Tropical fruits are produced in Porto Rico in great quantity and per- 
fection, and the output could be largely increased. The orange tree is 
at home in this mild climate, secure from frost. It grows rapidly and is 
hardy, healthy, and a marvelous producer. Lands for orange groves 
may be purchased for from $5 to $20 per acre. One tree at Mayaguez 
was observed on which 7,000 oranges were counted. The same remarks 
apply to limes, lemons, shaddock, and mangoes. 

An acre planted in cocoanuts produces about 10,000 nuts annually, 
worth $150 on shipboard. The cost of harvesting and loading is about 
$24 per acre. Pineapples grow in all parts of the island and require very 
little labor, 8,000, to 10,000 plants being set out on an acre. The guava 
is produced in abundance. Peaches, pears, figs, and grapes grow well. 
The culture of the grape was discouraged in Spanish days, lest it should 
compete with the wines of Spain. Experiments have shown, however, 
that the product of the Porto Rican grape is equal to the best. 

Porto Rico is well adapted to stock raising, having abundant pastures 
of superior grasses (grama, guinea, malojilla) affording pasture all the 
year round, abundance of pure water, and equable cUmate. The cattle 
are of Spanish stock, more or less crossed. The horses also are of 
Spanish stock, descended from Arabian, and, though small, are very 
active. Sheep do not prosper, owing to the great humidity. Goats 
are found in considerable numbers all over the island. Hogs and 
poultry have thus far been raised but to a limited extent, though the 
conditions for their maintenance are excellent. 

The forests of Porto Rico contain woods of great value, such as 
Spanish cedar, ebony, and sandalwood. Timber, however, is very 
scarce, and most of that used in building is imported. 

MANUFACTUKES. 

Manufactures, aside from the establishments connected with coffee 
and sugar culture, are in their infancy, being hmited to cigars and 
cigarettes, macaroni, chocolate, ice, matches, rum, straw hats, and 
canning (especially pineapples). 

TBANSPOETATION. 

Hardly a point of the island is more than 30 miles from tide water, 
but the coast is remarkably uniform, with few indentations presenting 
natural harbors. San Juan, on the north coast, is the best port. 
Others are Ponce on the south coast, Mayaguez on the west coast, and

No railway has yet penetrated into the rujgjed interior of the island.

si-a. A circle of mil will soon inclos4> the island, moif than half of it

From San .luan on the north a line runs westward to Camuy; from 
Ponce on the south a line runs westward and then northward to Agua-

completed in August or SeptemlnM-. liKHi, alfording continuous rail con- 
nection Ix'tweon San Juan and I'once. The road from Ponce to Guay- 
ama near the southeast corner is probably completed, so that one 
may now travel by rail around the western three-fourths of the island. 
The total of lirst-class macadam roads is 169 miles, of which 105 miles 
were built during the American occupation. Two of these roads cross 
the island frt)m north to south, one from San Juan to Guayama, the 
other from Arecibo to Ponce. From Coguas, on the San Juan-Gua3'ama 
road, a road runs to Naguabo on the east coast, and from Cayey, a 
little nt>rth of Guayama, a road runs westward to Ponce. Other im- 
pt)rtant roads are those from Aguiulillu to Lares and from Mayagucz to 
Las Marios, both in the principal coffee region. 

CO.MMERCE. 

The relative po.sitions of the United States and foreign countries in 
the conunercc of Porto Rico have been completely reversed bj- the 
change of flag. The change is shown in percentages by the following 
table:

The change was d'ue in part to the removal of the tariff barriers be- 
tween Porto Rico and the United States and in part to the presence of 
American traders and .Vmerican capital in the island, while the trade 
between Porto Rico and Spain and Cuba, formerly free, became subject 
to tariff after the American occupation.

TRADE WrrH THE UNITED .STATES. 

Before the American occupation Spain held the foremost place both in 
imports and in exports, though her ])redominiince was not nearly as 
decided as is that of the I'nited States at present, as may be seen from 
the fact that from 1893 to 18S)6 Spain sent 32. .'S2 per cent of the imports 
and took 24.82 per cent of the exports from Porto Rico, as compared 
with the Hi per cent of imports and Hii per cent of exports which now 
represent the share of the United States in the tra<lo of the island. 



The shifting from coffee to sugar as the leading article of export is 
shown by comparing the ligures for 1895 with tlio.se for 1905. Wiile in 
1901 and 1902 practically ail the coffee went to foreign countries, in 1903 
a considerable quantity, namely 6,314,680 pounds, valued at $718,.'>31, 
went to the United Stut^-s, but this dwindled to less than half in 1904 
and fell still lower in 1905. Practically all the .sugar went to the United 
States, the maximum of sugar (and in«>la.s.ses) .sent to foreign countries in 
one year, namely S362,351 worth in 1901, having Ix-cn hut 7 per cent of 
the total of $5,311,010, whil(^ in 1905, out of the total of sugar and 
molasses exported, worth $12,.')01,f)29, only S325,0()8 worth, or less than 
3 per cent, was sent to foreign countries. This quantitj' con-sists almost 
entirely of molasses, the sugar exports to foreign countries having prac- 
tically ceased. Sugar was the leading article of export to the United 
States even before the change of flag. In the ca.se of tobacco, too, the 
exports to foreign countries have progressively declined, till in 1905, 
when the total tobacco exports attained the maximum of S2,666,777, of 
which the exports to foreign countries formed only .5108,279, or 4 percent. 
A similar ])henomenon appeai-s in hides. In 1901 the exports of hides to 
foreign countries were valued at S12,.5()(); those to the United States at 
S38,976. In H)05 foreign countries took only $3..556 worth, while the 
United States took S82,640 worth. In one item only, namely live ani- 
mals, have the exports to foreign countries been greatly in excess of the 
shipments to the United States. By far the greater part of these were 
cattle shipped to Cuba, which in 1905 amounted to .?1.54,087 out of a 
total of $280,932 for all live animals. 

Aside from the leading articles above mentioned, the only notable 
])r()ducts shipped from Porto Rico to the United States are raw cotton, 
which in 1905 amounted to $105,870 out of a total of $138,386 sent out 
of the island, and fruits, $250,847 to the United States in 1905 out of a 
total of $255,9(X). Among minor articles exported to foreign countries 
in 1905 were raw cotton, $32,516, of which $31,600 went to the United 
Kingdom; meat products, $10,041, all to the Dominican Republic; manu- 
factures of straw and palm leaf, $13,086, nearly all to the West Indies. 

.\mong the exports of domestic merchandise from the United States 
to Porto Rico the most important item in 1905 was rice, .S2..508,724, 
shipments having increased steadily from .$1,309,725 in 1901. Next in 
importance came manufactures of cotton, .$2,301,724, in which colored 
cotton cloths represented the sum of $1,162,073. The increase in this ' 
item has been continuous since 1901, when it represented $1,384,891, 
except that in 1904 it fell from over 2 millions in the preceding year to 
$1,670,005. Shipments of iron and steel imd manufactures thereof 
were valued at $1,. 555,684, the largest item of which was sewing ma- 
chines. $145,430. In this group, too, the steady increase since 1901 was 
interrupted bya decline in 1904 from $1,434,350 to$l,013,061. Exports 
of provisions amounted to .$1,407,729. the largest items of which were 
salt pork, $395,496, and lard, $261,217. This group, too, showed an 
increase in every year except 1904. Breadstuffs exported amounted to 
$1,255,481, consisting mostlj' of wheat flour, $1,089,305. Here again 
there was an increase in ever)' year except 1904. Other notable exports 
in 1905 were coal, $198,888; fertilizers, $184,653; fish, $245,939; boots 
and shoes, $238,726; illuminating oil, $117,199; paper and manufac- 
tures thereof, .$170,158; silk manufactures, $74,444; soap, $168,931; 
malt liquoi-s, $180,309; refined sugar. $118,836; tobacco (uimianufac- 
tured), $166,592; vegetables, $137.5()5; wood and manufactures thereof, 
$578,957; manufactures of wool, $133,811. 

TRADE WITH FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 

The $2,562,189 worth of imports into Porto Rico from foreign coun- 
tries in 1905 consisted of a great variety of articles, none of which 
showed a marked predominance. The largest single item, $312,083 
worth of coffee from \'enezuela, was presumably not imported for con- 
.sumption, but for reexportation. In chemicals, drugs, and dyes France, 
with .$2S,tKX) worth out of a total of $42,000, was far in the lead. Cotton 
manufactures came mainly from the United Kingdom and Spain. Fer- 
tilizers, to the amoimt of $106,000, came almost exclusively from France. 
In linens Spain led, closely followed by the United Kingdom. Fish 
came almost exclusively from Britisli North .Vmerica ($411,000 out of a 



COMMERCIAL AMERICA IN 1905. 



39 



total of $453,000). In iron and steel and manufactures thereof Franco 
led, followed closely by Belgium and the United Kingdom, while Ger- 
man}- 's share was relatively unimportant. Leather and manufactures 
thereof came almost exclusively from Spain, which also furnished nearly 
all the olive oil and most of the paper imported from abroad. Nearly 
all the foreign butter came from Denmark, nearly all tlie cheese from the 
Netherlands, and practically all the soap from Spain. In wines Spain 
was far in the lead, furnishing about as much as France and Italy to- 
gether. In vegetables, too, the quantities furnished by Spain exceeded 
the aggregate of all other contributors. 

Spain still occupies the leading place among foreign nations in imports 
into Porto Rico, being closely followed, however, by British North 
America, with its large exports of fish and lumber. 

Among the foreign countries of destination of Porto Rican exports, 
Spain would occupy the foremost place were it not that Cuba, with 
her great demand for Porto Rican cattle and coffee, and France, the 
great consumer of Porto Rican cofl'ee, had for the most part taken the 
lead of Spain, Cuba in 1901, 1902, 1904, and 1905, and France in 1902, 
1903, and 1904. Germany's purchases from Porto Rico, after increasing 
from 1901 to 1904, dropped to an insignificant figure in 1905. Austria- 
Hungarj-'s purchases in 1904 reached $469,778, made up entiiely of 
colTee, as was also the case in' 1905 and very nearly in the earlier j^ears. 
Great Britian's purchases from Porto Rico have been insignificant during 
the last five years.
